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*.
