Notes from the Intra-Office Memo

     Computer had no trouble getting by Plastic Plants, aided by an odd turn of events in the Plastic Plants huddle. Fatigue set in early, as the Plastic Plants coach berated his players, saying, "You don't need water! YOU DON'T NEED WATER!"


     Temperatures were also running high in the Copy Paper huddle during their defeat at the hands of Highlighter. Yeah, their coach really reamed 'em.


     Fans were treated to a furious comeback by White Out in its match with Sharpie. After a huge half-time deficit, it was almost unreal how quickly White Out got back into the game. Unfortunately, the game was awarded to Sharpie after videotape showed White Out standing a little too close to the scorer's book.


     After the game, the always-eloquent Successories Wall Hanging said, "Dare to soar. Your attitude almost always determines your altitude in life. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' "The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity…these are the choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing."

     To which, Trash Can added, "Clunk."




Overheard in the Break Room

     We were definitely excited to beat three-ring binder. We've seen them run circles around a lot of teams. -- Manila Folders


     We were able to do anything we wanted on offense, thanks to our scouting report on Cubicle. We knew they'd be all about the box and one. -- Push Pins


     We had a hard time getting in to our offense. It seemed like every time we got the ball into the frontcourt, we got stripped! -- Shredder


     Has anyone seen my umbrella? Seriously, I put a black umbrella right here. COME ON! -- Coat Rack
