Clean(er's) choice

One of my friends, who's excessively obsessed with water therapy, drinks gallons of water everyday. In order to quench his thirst (or should I say, douse the fire!), he would often stop by the vending machine inside his office pantry to churn out a 16oz coke after tossing a dollar in. After he finishes the coke, he'd top it up with water, and use it for his therapy. Though his intention was to re-use the empty coke bottle everyday, he couldn't do so because it used to simply vanish from his desk! This made him go nuts and buy a new bottle everytime. He later figured out that it was the Mexican domestic helpers who cleaned his office regularly in the evenings, that discarded the empty bottles. The simplest solution would've been to secure the bottle inside a drawer -- for some reason (unknown to me, till date), he never did that. After several such keep-and-throw games, he once came up with a "brilliant" idea and wrote this text(in CAPS) on an A4 sheet: "PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OR THROW THE BOTTLE AWAY", left it over his desk and placed the empty coke bottle over it. He then left the office, feeling fully complacent. When he came back the next day, the A4 sheet was gone! And the day after, the bottle disappeared again *grin*.

@Mad: How I wish we went back to school, all again! We, the so-called 'grown-ups', sometimes even forget the subtlest of things that matter in life ..and elementary education is all it takes to laugh, have fun and even remind us that we have something called a water bottle and that water is an essential compound for survival! Believe me, these days, I drink more coke than water!

@Shruti: Would you believe if I said Mexicans and Brazilians are all set to compete with the Chinese, in the race towards globalization? The day is not far...you'll very soon find them in your office :-D

@Jeevan: The point is that he wants to make sure, nobody picks anything from his office, no matter where it is kept!
