Maybe cut back on the bacon Bert? I've heard rumors that you have gone hog wild with the bacon?

Regards!

If they miscount 12 and get 11 they would be done for short changing the customer, so make a dozen 13 and even a miscount of 1 will still protect them from being done for fraud.

I have to be honest, I haven't eaten bacon since last Thursday - that's almost a whole week!

You have no idea how hard it is to climb 50 flights of steps in this building. Makes me want bacon to make up what I've burned off so far.

It's a single floor building?!

I work in a building with only 2 floors, but I have a route that gets me 6 flights up per circuit using all 12 sets of stairs we have in here. I have some people interested in joining me on it.

There's another reason for the baker's dozen.
There used to be a phylosophy in retail that said giving the customers a little more than they were paying for was a good thing to do to foster loyalty.
That phylosophy has largely been abandoned and, in the case of the larger retailers, it's actually been reversed.

Where I work there are 82 steps from bottom to top. Working on the top floor I take a trip down and up again once in a while to get some circulation. I'm not well suited to sit/stand at my desk all day.

Oh, and the stairs are quicker than the lifts. Yet some people use the lifts even for just one or two floors. Why?!

I'm having a lazy week. Race on Sunday.

I'm gonna be rich!
Got an email from the FBI that said they scanned an incoming box with my name on it, and it contains 4.1 million dollars!
The FBI must have a heck of a scanner.
My spam filter works well and rarely has anything in it, could't resist reading this one before deleting.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Some guys have all the luck.

Somebody in Nairobi is holding $300,000 for me, but I can't afford the two thousand dollar fee for them to release it.
Can I borrow that from you once you collect your millions?
