Observations of a Biological Experiment

Report written by: Dr. Owen Harper

Observed: Sometime in July

Specimens: Coffee mug

Report commences:

I'm conducting a biological experiment of sorts. Basically, I'm monitoring an old mug, which has some sort of green lower life-form growing in it. Why am I doing this? Well, for the sake of science and discovery, of course! I'm certainly not doing this because I'm too lazy to put back the mug, and I'm definitely not doing this because I want to annoy the Teaboy. I assure you, my intentions are pure.

NOT! Ha, ha, ha! For the sake of science and discovery, that's a good one.

You want the real story? One afternoon, 3 months ago, the Teaboy gave me some coffee in a big blue mug. Since then, the mug has been sitting on my desk. I kept forgetting about it, ok? I'm a busy man; I don't have time to put away coffee mugs! That's the Teaboy's job, not mine. (And if he reads what I just wrote, I'm dead.)

Anyways…After almost two weeks, I noticed that the mug had started growing strange green mold. After a month, the inside of the mug was comptetely covered in a thick layer of mold. And that's how the Teaboy found it: smelly and furry. He actually passed out. I've been hiding it from him since then. Don't want my coffee supplier to get hurt.

But yesterday, the Teaboy found it again. He doesn't clean my desk anymore, not since he found what he thought was a tennis ball but turned out to be an apple. Every once in a while, though, the mess gets too big for his OCD tendencies to handle, and he completely disinfects and cleans my desk.

When he saw the cup (it looked more like a furry thing), he screamed and ran away. Then he came back with a pair of really long tongs and carefully picked up the mug. I managed to stop him from throwing it out, though-why, I don't know. I think that all the time the mug and I spent together caused a connection to be formed between us. I couldn't bear to see the mug thrown away, so I told the Teaboy that it's a biological experiment.

And now my mug and I will never be parted.

Um…I'm SERIOUSLY not sure about this, but it's almost 1:00 AM, and I DON'T CARE!

I hope you liked it…Please tell me if you did! I'm feeling a bit insecure.
