Several years ago I worked for a fairly large ad agency in Miami. In the kitchen there was a refrigerator where the staff would put their lunches. Over the period of a few weeks, people started to witness a bizarre occurrence. Each day, a different lunch bag was missing something. Sometimes it was an apple. Other days it was a half eaten sandwich. It became almost an obsession to catch the perpetrator in the act. After several weeks had passed, the perpetrator was indeed caught. It turned out to be one of the agency partners. Yeah, kind of creepy.

Had we been armed with these anti-theft bags, that incident could have been completely avoided.

The hand drawn seven-legged spider above became the subject of a hilarious viral email a couple of years ago. It begins with an email exchange between an Australian man – David Thorne – and a utility company. As it turns out, Thorne owes the company $233.95. Because he has no money, he emails a hand drawn spider which he values at $233.95.

Here’s the response for the company:
