whoa, easy there slugger! i don't think your little coffee mug was made to be slammed around like that.

i didn't slam it. i just put it down.

very, very hard. what's bugging you on such a pretty thursday?

can i show you something?

sure.

come to my cubicle with me.

uh-oh, that's just the kind of talk that's got alana telling tales about us.

alana can just-- come here. here. look at this. have you ever seen anything like this?

umm, yes. it looks like... a pen. people use them for writing. one of the things that distinguishes us, incidentally, from lower forms of--

yeah, you're fucking hilarious. write with it.

ok, well, it, huh. it doesn't really work. that can be frustrating, but I'm sure--

oh, it works. hold up the paper, look at it carefully.

hm, it did write. but very light.

yeah. exactly. you know why? because it's a grey pen. it writes with light grey ink. i asked for a box of blue pens, and i got three light grey pens! why would anyone even make light grey pens, let alone buy them for an office?

i don't know. for writing valentines on pink paper? for writing on yellow legal pads?

our legal pads here are white, in case you didn't notice. all our paper is white. which is very similar, in case you didn't notice, to light grey!

ok, ok. point taken. anyway, why didn't you just go get the pens yourself?

can't. someone appointed alana supply queen and she said she has to get everything for us now.

that's funny. she gave me the key earlier to get some post-it notes. which we're out of, by the way.

what color do you think is best for writing death threats?
