A friend of mine played a prank on his coworker this way, while the coworker was on a holiday, he put grass seeds on the keyboard and watered it for two weeks. When the coworker returned, his keyboard had a nice grass cover….
I am guilty of eating while I work. Fortunately I know a trick or two. First of all, tip the keyboard on its side occasionally and bang it real good on the desktop and watch the crumbs fall out. Second, make sure you always have a can of compressed air with a very slender nozzle at hand. Liquid? Well, it’s happened a couple of times, but that’s what the compressed air is for. Although you must always make sure that the keyboard and nozzle are not pointed toward your supervisor.
You know, CJ spends so much time around Ed that you’d think she must have a secret crush on him, the way little boys pull little girls’ pigtails. Except that CJ likes girls.
Back in the day you could smoke in the workplace; and one of my coworkers smoked like a chimney all day long. One day when he went out to lunch, we attacked his desk with the strongest cleaners we could find without a license. We also shook out his keyboard and found about two inches of cigarette ash in it. By the time he came back from lunch, we were all back at our desks working. He hit the office door and stopped cold in total shock screaming, “What happened to my desk!?” Without even looking up from my desk at the back of the room, I said, “I don’t know, man, the EPA guys in the moon suits came in and went nuts all over it!”

If you don’t use it, then you will lose it.

And this, people, is why it isn’t always a good idea to read comic strips while eating breakfast.

It is a little obvious that you don’t use it.

Problem is he drools in it when he falls asleep. Maybe he could market it as the next pet rock, call it the jungle keyboard.
