Incorrectly sized straws [iamsparticus] (has diagram)
Do what I do. Put the drink on the floor.
We know what's really going on, don't we children? Somewhere in China
there is a plastic straw manufacturer who is realy bored with his job.
Since he won the Starbucks contract, there's been no challenge in his
work. Every day is just like the last. The spark is gone. So, what does
he do? He starts making each batch of straws just slightly longer than
the one before, growing at maybe 2mm every few weeks. As the months
pass, the straws are getting longer and longer, but no-one actually
keeps old straws to compare them so nobody at Starbucks notices their
subliminal growth. He's loving his job now. Every time a new batch goes
out he thinks to himself, "This must be it. They must notice
this time." He's playing drinking-straw chicken. Meanwhile thousands of
coffee drinkers all over the World start wondering why their necks hurt.
I'm almost certain that this is the case.

Finger Trouble
Earlier today I posted one of those longer, high quality, amusing posts that I think I should do more often.
Well almost.
I had a Blondezilla moment and managed to send it to the Big Weblog in
the Sky, where the angels will read it and nod and chuckle contentedly
at it for all eternity.
Or until they lose interest.
Whichever comes first.
(Balls).
