Struggling to keep on top of of all the leads on the Bath Breaking Thread, the state of Kris' home office was beginning to cause concern to the rest of the household.....

I wrote down what you wanted from the store on a sticky note so I wouldn't forget, but now I forgot where I put the sticky note to remind me where the sticky note is with the items you wanted.

This is the result of fighting coworkers that stop talking to each other. Maybe it is time to split them up.....hmm, what if they still need to communicate?

After the budget cuts, the university's engineering department decided to manufacture their own sticky-notes. Next project, a more efficient adhesive drying project.

Thanks T. I'd like to say it's a joyous moment, but my wife still hates this site. I'm only able to do drive by's on here. I swear I'd be better off with porn, at least she could understand that.

It is appropriate that I hit 100 on, "capture this", a meaningless distraction, just in case anyone thought I was gaining too much power on here.

Billy Bob's Office Manager never put two and two together, when she noticed his inordinate requests for sticky notes, during the same week he mentioned he was going to re-paper his trailer.

If you can spot at least 100 differences in these two pictures, you can win the C note. Also - Where's Waldo? - there's a G note in it for ya! (all prizes to be paid to qualified successful entrants by Post-It™ 3M Corp.) A skill testing question to be asked before prizes are awarded.

The memoirs of a baritone. As there are none on the ceiling, I guess he couldn't reach the high notes.
