The Consequences of Stupidity

You have to wonder, gate, about how far people think they'll get on stupidity alone.

Take, for example, Young D. the downstairs lunchtime cook. Only last Friday he was complaining about his job. On Monday he was on the night train for the big adios. Sources inform me that Young D. felt he was the lynchpin of the kitchen, the fulcrum upon which all turned (turning is a function of fulcrums, is it not? I forget.), in short, he was indespensible. It didn't help when he verbally abused a customer in the parking lot and that customer turned out to be one of the Boss's friends and she complained long and loud to the Boss.

So long, Young D. Perhaps you'll wise up.

Another example of Stupidity is occurring across the street at the IBB. The Two Bakers have decided that they are the indespensible elements of the business, the other employees just make coffee. Not only have their egos inflated to the bursting point, they've begun ruining the Barry Manilow CDs that J. brings in. Ruining as in putting the CD on the concrete floor twisting back and forth with their heel, causing huge gouges and scrapes in the disc. They've done this no less than three times. Finally J. complained to the manager, who was not happy. The Two Bakers are setting themselves up for a big fall. But before they leave, I'd llike to know who cleaned the pastry cases with ammonia?
