So I returned from vacation today.. officially back to work.. booo ooo oooo.  After sorting through emails and phone messages I actually had a second to visit the paradise also known as the Men's Room.  We're a pretty hip company and have the latest and greatest technology known to man.. including "touch-less" towel dispensers in the bathroom. These things are great! You wave your hand in front of a little black "eye" and it dispenses just the right amount of paper to dry your hands on.  So today I went to go perform my daily Jedi mind trick of dispensing paper by hand waving and nothing... the paper rack was full, but it wasn't dishing it out.  Much to my astonishment the little black "eye," the mother of operations for this bad boy had been smashed in!! Double You Tee Eff??

I know technology scares some people, but c'mon... we've been walking through automatic sliding doors almost all of our natural lives.  Even the Egyptians had automatic doors on the Sphinx.  What in the world would possess someone to karate chop the "touch-less" paper towel dispenser?  Was it talking back? Did you have to "put it in it's place?" 

I guess they must have had trouble reading the "touch-less" part of the machine.  "Hmmm.... I can't pull the paper out... what.. what the heck.. what is this blasted mechanica? I'll fix it... KKEEEEEEYYYYAAAA!! Thanks for nothing paper towel thing.   That's why God gave us pants"

I could understand if this was a pre-school... ok maybe not even then... but this is a professional environment.  They're not even new! They've been there for over two years.  This saddens my heart.
