Consolidation, Not Expansion
Since our CEO was feeling rather magnanimous today, he ordered Chinese lunch for the whole company (that would be around 8 people). Usually, during such free lunches we get Middle Eastern cuisine (Israeli kosher food -- hummus, falafel, shawrma, pita, and the rest) (I *love* that food), or pizza (I *hate* that food), but probably today he was feeling adventurous, and also if he had ordered one more MidEast lunch, there could have been a riot here since most of my colleagues heartily detest it.
The lunch was from a Hunan restaurant near-by (a plus point as far as I am concerned since they know the meaning of 'spicy'), and consisted of regular Chinese dishes - a lot of beef, pork, chicken, and tofu. At the end of it, when we opened the fortune cookies (the small snacky things that conceal a piece of paper with your fortune on it), our Marketing Manager Dan suggested that we all play a game. Each of us would read out our fortune, and add "in bed" at the end of it. Everyone agreed since it sounded fun. So we had stuff like:

- "You know many ways to please others." + "in bed." etc

@Dreamslittle: When you append the phrase "in bed" to the sentence "Consider consolidation ...", you get a vaguely vulgar but funny in certain circumstances sort of a thing. On a Friday, that too after a heavy lunch, it can set of hoots of laughter.
@Myna: Be my (er, Dan's) guest. We hold no copyright on that one :)
@shaniyan: Varunnundu njan aduththu thanne. (The real reason is I blog from work :) and I don't want to install additional software on my work PC...
