Burn That Jacket
On Sunday night I went to my co-worker Shyam's housewarming party. It was fun. He has a nice condo in downtown Seattle and he served some good vegetarian food. He's a also a semi-professional photographer, so there was some serious picture-taking going on.
The next morning, Shyam came to work bringing me my jacket, which I had absentmindedly left at his place. I thanked him, hung my jacket up, then forgot about it until 7:00, when I went home (yes, I put in some long days here at Microsoft). My roommate picked me up and drove me home. Halfway there, I noticed something in my jacket pocket. I didn't remember putting anything in my pockets today, so I reached in and pulled something out.
If curiosity killed the cat, then this just made it sick. Inside my pocket was a photograph (apparently freshly printed from Shyam's digital camera) of another fellow employee kindly rubbing my jacket into his crotch.
Well. Let's just say I won't be wearing that jacket again anytime soon.
By the way, the lighting and composure of that photo were excellent.
