"I got this email from Sam last week. I thought it was pretty funny:

so, i come into work, and i'm so psyched about eating my farina. (if i'mkenny, i'm thinking farina is HUGE, so HUGE) i go downstairs to thecafeteria to get my cup of hot water (which they charged me $0.16 for).after putting my farina into the water and mixing vigorously for severalminutes, i realized i had entirely too much water in the cup. so i went tothe water fountain, to spoon out some of the extra water. it's not toohard, cause the farina sinks to the bottom of the cup anyway. as i gotcloser to the farina when spooning, more and more granules were beingspooned into the water fountain, which signaled to me that i had takenenough water out. except that the granules of farina that i had spooned outhadn't drained completely in the water fountain, so it looked like someonepuked in it. the weak stream of water from the fountain didn't help cleanit all, because some of the farina granules had gotten stuck in the farreaches of the corners of the water fountain. since i had nothing in myhand to fill with water, i started taking mouthfuls of water and spittingthem over the corners of the fountain to help wash those granules away.

that's when my friend kristen came to the water fountain to fill her waterbottle. instead of a normal trip there, she finds me hunched over thefountain, with a starbucks cup full of farina in my hand, spitting waterinto the corners of the fountain, which look like they're covered in puke.needless to say, i will now be more diligent about regulating my water levelwhen making future trips to make my farina."
