What’s yellow and sits in the corner?

This afternoon I picked up a latte from Epic on the way through West Perth. I was pretty late getting into the office today and really missed my caffeine hit. Ever since Epic was featured on Today Tonight a few weeks back they've been consistently busy, even during periods where you'd expect the opposite, like at 2PM in the afternoon. It's like that band that you liked before everyone else, except when other people started lsitening to them it's not like you had to wait longer to hear their tunes.

Anyway, I grabbed my docket and wandered over the road to Joe's Pie and Baked Good Emporium to get some bread rolls to compliment my office-bound soup. It took about 6 or 7 minutes round-trip.

My coffee was still not ready! I got chatting and found out that Epic was broken into last night. Their doors were levered off and the bolts circumvented. Apparently the crooks only took some cash and because they didn't trash the place it meant the Epic crew were serving coffee. However, their second machine was down for repairs so things really weren't going Epic's way.

I asked them to let me know if they found out who burgled them and I'd round up a posse to deliver some tough justice. Vigilante style.

At least the barista told me a funny joke to pass the time:

Q: What's yellow and sits in the corner?

A: A naughty bulldozer.

If you are able to laugh when you're down then how bad can life really be?

    That’s an old joke. But I think all jokes probably are :) It’s still funny, in a corny way. Funnier that being broken in to.

    Re: Epic and Today Tonight. I hope that they never discover Infusions in the Plaza arcade. Whenever Mark and I go there we get the best service. Its cheery and they always have a chat to us about new blends that are now in stock and how they are different. On Sunday we both tried something new and it was great. More places should be like it.
    Good daddy joke. Nice to see you are getting some practice.

    @Mel: I used to get the Chernobyl blend from Infusion. It’s been passed down through the ages :)

    I think Infusion is good but Epic is better. That’s just my opinion though.
