It was...

Inspired by the carelessness and seeming solipsism of some coworkers. Rather than saying ‘stop freakin’ taking all the forks home and not bringing them back!!’, I once wrote a tale of the Brave Fork Knights of the land of Utensil Drawer.

This time, near 18 years later- I wanted to send a humorous reminder that ‘your mother doesn’t work here and even if she did- were she like mine, you’d pick up after your own damn self!’

It worked. Some were amused, some grateful, some quiet- yet, the apple was dealt with. Message received, no one embarrassed, and there we go. ;)
