Alec in Houston found this little work of art on his desk, he says, “after I went out for lunch and didn’t do the dishes like they had asked.” With gritted teeth, he goes on: “They have ‘too much work’ and I have ‘none’ so I might as well wash them!”

Not to mention all the wear and tear saved on the sponge, saving money on new sponges, and keeping our natural sponge resource at it’s peak…

Very geocentric, too. The earth (which is rather egg-shaped…) is bigger than the sun, and the sun only shines its light on the earth.

The sun is perilously close to the earth!
Why wash dishes?

Does anybody think the left continent looks like Homer Simpson?
Am I going to hell now for seeing Homer’s face instead of Jesus?

Spanking and oral sex are involved in Earth Day? The Earth Day Marketing team really ought to advertise this fact – I just know so many more people would get involved if they knew about this.
I mean, I’m in… now that I know.
Um, gigglebax fail? I swear I clicked the correct button…. dang it!

maybe it is just a drawing of two plates, one of them stained and one shining brightly

Imagine how many dishes they could have washed (and how much of the environment they could have decimated) in the time it took for them to draw a picture of a hand dinosaur making a grab at Snoopy doing a swan dive.

The note writer is clearly “green”, as she is doing her part in saving the ozone by not verbally telling him to wash the dishes. With all that hot air coming out of her mouth, she could widen the hole!

I kind of know how the note writer feels, since I am the only one in my office who ever washes any dishes in the sink that aren’t my own. Yep, I’m the office scullery maid. I wouldn’t resort to note writing, though. Quiet seething is what I’m all about.

If she really wanted to be green, she would have written it in soy ink on a tortilla.

Looks like someone threw a giant snowball from somewhere on earth.
Though I am confused. Is the complaint that he didn’t wash his dishes or just didn’t wash random dishes. If he’s going out to lunch why are there dirty dishes?

Next time he should save water by just having his dog lick all the dishes clean. And posting pictures of the process a week after the fact.

The people in Alec’s office clearly leave a lot to be desired, but I’m still stuck wrestling with the notion that Alec is one world class loser if his coworkers are going Cinderella on him. Sorrry, but when people show you ZERO respect it’s usually because that’s what you’ve earned. Also, Alec, where are your balls? If my coworkers had the audacity to ask me to do office dishes I’d burn the fucking building down and they damned well know it.

As an added touch of P/A “quiet seething,” the note has obviously been crumpled up and then re-flattened. Perhaps Alec did it, but my bet is that the “artist” drew the note after seething for a while, then said, no no, I’m better now, I’ll just sit quietly and seethe, and crumpled the note up and threw it away. Then took it out of the trash, smoothed it out, and laid it on Alec’s desk. Then went back to the desk, picked it up, wadded it up, and threw it away again. Then picked it up again, re-smoothed it, and put it back on his desk. This may have been repeated several times, until Alec just happened to return from lunch with the masterpiece lying on his desk.
Or maybe it wasn’t a lone seether. Maybe this required a committee of sane people.

Lone seethers, office psychos, and sane committee members, lend me your mouses!!
Hey . . . isn’t this the second consecutive post from HOUSTON (home of the roahes)? and doesn’t our PAN goddess now reside in Austin (home of the Austin City Limits)? And didn’t Texas’ governor recently suggest seceding from the union? And aren’t tortillas (disputed or not) basically Texican food? And isn’t Isuck so undeserving of any attention whatsoever? And doesn’t Susan Boyle have a wonderful voice? And isn’t Mel Gibson getting a divorce? And isn’t Barack Obama the cutest prez since Rutherford B. Hayes? And . . .
. . . I’m sorry. There was a conspiracy theory somewhere in there, but I’ve forgotten where it is.

Thanks for saving Keanu Reeves from having to come down in his sphere.
What? Too soon for TDTESS references?
