>Subject: Calm tea

Okay, okay. I dunno whose idea of a joke this is, but...

So I decided I wanted some hot tea today. I got a cup and started leafing through the tea selection in the CETS hallway. 'Oh look, here's some tea called Calm. That seems like a good idea, I'm always tense about something.' So I picked out a packet of it.

Grabbed the tab to rip open the packet. Rip! Off comes the tab. Can't get the teabag out. Mmph.

Turned the packet around and tried from the other side. No tear-tab. Pull, tug, twist, can't get it to tear. Mmph!

Back to the first corner. Okay, it's actually open just a tiny bit. Got the two flaps separated enough to pinch one with each hand. Tug. Nothing. Tug! Nothing. TUUUUUUUUUUG, pop out flies the teabag as the packet tears apart. Hmph!!

Grabbed the teabag out of the air. Alright. muttermutter 'Good thing I'm getting this Calm tea. I obviously need the Calm tea. This will be a good cup of tea. Alright. Calm. Caaaaaalm...'

Put the teabag in the cup, put the cup under the spigot, pushed down the hot water lever.

Half a teaspoon of water drips out. The bottle is empty. HMPH!

Okay, okay, I acknowledge the prank. Whose idea was the Calm tea? I want to smack whoever you bought it from. No, really. :)
