Overheard at the Office #17 - AKA "The Gum"

This comes from a previous job.

It started out as a joke around the office about this piece of gum that was spit out into one of the urinals. Someone offered up $10 if someone else would pull out the gum and chew it. After a week of the price escalating and the urinal not being cleaned of this piece of gum, another certain someone carefully removed the gum from the urinal (no idea. He didn't say how and we didn't ask), taped it to a piece of paper with a written offer of $50 to chew the gum and proudly taped that piece of paper to the wall right above the urinal.

2 years later when I left that company, "The Gum" was still on the wall with the offer of $50.
