Public service announcement.......


I felt like this would be an excellent time to educate the people warped enough to read this humble blog about something that can cause major problems in your life.

That something is..........hot chocolate.

Please note that I'm not speaking from experience in this post.

I can't believe that anyone would actually drink hot chocolate at their desk at work. Worse yet, there are people that actually drink hot chocolate at desks where computers are located. So I feel it's important to let everyone know just how dangerous this can be.

For example, use your imagination to envision someone reaching for a piece of paper on their desk. As they reach for the paper, they totally forget that they have a piping-hot cup of hot chocolate on their desk. In their haste to get the paper, they accidentally tap the cup, causing it to start wobbling.

Now, rather than just allowing the cup to wiggle to a stop and remain standing, the imaginary person quickly reaches back to try to stop the cup from wobbling. In turn, they end up hitting the cup with their hand at a high rate of movement, resulting in a flying cup of hot chocolate that explodes onto the monitor, keyboard and surrounding desk and papers at this imaginary person's desk.

Sounds terrible, doesn't it? Thankfully, I'll never know what a mess that imaginary person made in my, I mean, their cube.
