We cooed, rather like plump doves on a light dose of ecstasy, as The Man From The Water Cooler Place turned up this morning not with his usual supply of those nice blue see-through water barrels, but instead, shiny new silver-coloured coolers with snazzier cup dispensers, and buttons - buttons! - instead of nozzles.
Lo, we thought: New gadgets for the new millennium!
And sure enough, The Man slowly, methodically, removed our old, soon forgotten water coolers and began to install the new ones.
And then something very odd happened.
He began to take the false ceiling tiles out.
And then he was feeding tubes, and stuff, through the ceiling, attaching it to the far wall, and then feeding the same tube down to the back of the Super Dooper New Silver Water Coolers.
"What, pray?" someone may have asked, "is going on?"
"Well, they don't want to pay for water anymore, so these ones get hooked up straight to the mains."
[Splutters]
"Tap? Water?"
"Indeed. And the feed is from the men's toilets."
Zeds, eh?
Captain Lucky strikes again.
I'm off to the wine tasting....
