Vomit in the Stairwells



I don't know why they had to send out a memo, this is all just a big misunderstanding. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this!

You see, a friend of mine was carrying his aquarium into the office. Unfortunately, the glass aquarium was damaged as he accidentally drove over a giant pothole in the parking lot. Due to the decreased structural integrity, while we were carrying it into the building, the glass broke causing the entire collection of jellyfish to end up right on his face!

Understandably in anguish from the multiple jellyfish stings, he went running down the hall looking for the restroom. When he found the restrooms on the ground floor to be locked, he ran for the stairwell to try another floor. Unfortunately, before he could make it to the second floor, the pain became too much to bear, and he vomited in the stairwell. Remembering my boy scout training, I quickly began to urinate on him to to relieve the pain of the jellyfish stings. Fortunately, this did the trick, but now he was covered in urine, so we made our way to restroom. As we walked, I used my cell phone to call poison control to see if there was anything else that needed to be done. When we got to the restroom, they informed me that the best solution was to rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Maybe I'm just blowing this whole thing out or proportion, but this memo makes it sound like we're crazy or something. That's corporate America for ya...
