Today at work, I brought in a fantastic chocolate cake! Just this big, fat decadent cake to celebrate my one year on the job. It was delicious through and through! But being that it was of such mammouth proportions, there was plenty of leftover scrumptious cake after myself and my coworkers consumed our hefty portions. We work in one of five buildings --not one much bigger than the other, but they are spread out through the campus. I placed the leftover chocolate cake in the kitchen of my building, but then I thought no one in the other buildings will know it's here, and I didn't want it to dry out. Stale cake isn't nearly so yummy. So when I got back to my desk, I crafted the following email for the campus:

Hello all! There is a delicious chocolate cake in the kitchen of Building C. Stop by and partake in a slice of scrumptious dessert. Come on, you know you want to!

It probably wasn't even a minute after I pressed the Send button that people I had never seen before started flocking through the doors of my building. I just watched all these bodies --mostly tall, hefty men-- briskly striding past my area.  Like beat cops to frosted doughnuts, they rushed to the kitchen. When I went to the kitchen myself to witness the spectacle, the chocolate cake was swarmed by these six-foot men. In Lord of the Flies fashion, one had grabbed the knife and unequally divided the cake among the other natives. Within a minute, it was gone. Just one little crumb on the counter and the rest had vanished --whisked back to the other four buildings and promptly consumed.
