Genius! – Two-Fer Edition<\/b><\/p>\n

Neighbors,<\/p>\n

As you know, Genius!<\/b> is all about dumb crap that happens at work. I turn the Anonymizer™ on and regale you with thrilling and chilling stories of dumb. Stories that invariably focus on others whose Don’t-Get-It meters are pegged in the red. This one is all me:<\/p>\n

It seems that housekeeping is way too busy to restock the paper products in the staff restrooms. I got tired of it and restocked both of them, but while threading the paper towels through the rollers in the dispenser, I felt something on my forehead. Too proud to drop the giant paper towel roll, I let whatever it was be so I could complete my task. Roll inserted, door shut, I finally got around to a fairly vigorous slap, smashing the mosquito squarely into the middle of my forehead. What time is it now, twelve hours later?

[Mr. Boss]<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well! What more do you need to know? I’m sure a company<\/i> did a fine job.<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
