The Crow Flies at Midnight

A co-worker of mine sent out an email yesterday saying that she had free tickets to a concert here in town for the first four who were interested.  There was a catch though; "In exchange for the free tickets you will need to stick around after the concert and help load boxes of liquor onto a cart and take them to a room somewhere in the Coliseum."

??

That was all the information in the email but I imagined it continuing in several different ways:

• "After delivering the liquor to the appropriate room you will be required to drink half a case and then walk across the room without falling down."
• "Clues will be provided to locate the room.  The last person to deliver the liquor to the correct room will be kicked off the island/eliminated from the race."
• "While delivering the liquor a man will approach you and ask the time.  You will respond that you don't have a watch.  He will ask you to follow him to another room where you will meet with your handler who will provide the rest of the details for the mission.  Good luck."

Another of my co-workers responded with his own email:

"Will the cart in question have any identifying marks?  Will there be a map in the cart providing directions to the certain undisclosed room?  Once in the room will an "asset" be present to provide further instructions?  Should these four people you are looking for have any previous experience with the Mafia?"

For a stressful day at work, this email provided the comic relief we sorely needed.
