Day Three

Well, today's plan didn't quite go as, well, planned. The original idea was to sink the egg in a cup of coffee so that it would be found when said coffee had been drank. Simple idea right? Yeah, that's what I thought. I was smart enough to put the clue in a balloon, because I figured that would be my best bet at waterproofing it. Actually, I had another idea before balloon, but it wasn't as PG. Then I thought I'd fill the egg with water and it would just sink. No go. There was no way to get all the air out. Then I poked a hole in the egg after receiving some advice from a coworker, the idea being that the egg would fill up with coffee and sink.

Off I went to Tim's to get coffee and tea. Then I pulled into the Home Hardware parking lot to put it all into action. I sat there for probably 5 minutes holding the damn egg in the hot coffee with my index finger. No go. I took the egg out stabbed another hole in it and tried again. Still just floating. As the coffee became luke warm I decided that science was against me and just left it floating. I was pretty sad that it wasn't going exactly as planned.

I got to the site and walked in, still feeling a little defeated. Coffees were opened and no one spotted the egg. Maybe it had sank after all! Eventually I couldn't hold it in anymore and they found it, still floating in the coffee.

Today's Poem:
Woohoo! Day three! Another egg!
I hope you didn't drink it,
I also hope you don't drink up
the water used to sink it.

Right here in your coffee cup,
Which probably wasn't a winner,
But if it was bigger than a donut,
Then you both owe me dinner.

Day three's clue is criptic,
might make you pull your hair,
The big surprise might be booze
or something that you wear

But most likely if you choose
to travel down the path,
Of choosing evil over good,
You will feel my wrath.

I am well aware of what tomorrow's date may bring,
An April Fool I am not, so don't dare try a thing.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Although not looking forward to what I suspect may have happened to my desk around 5:30 this evening.
