Ya know, there are an awful lot of people addicted to the **Never-ending Saga of the Tilty MC** [sub]tm[/sub]… So what if we take this one step farther? We could all chip in and hire a private investigator to track MC down! I’ve got about 48 pennies in my desk to donate to the cause… Who’s with me??? 😃 ---

Have you told your boss that MC is out passing herself off as a represetative of your company? Did she have _new_ cards made up or did she just write a new number on an old card? ---

The person who gave it out probably didn’t know that the Missing Co-Worker was no longer working there, and so gave her card out thinking that the Missing Co-Worker could help the person to whom he was giving the card. ---

I’m reading the original thread. Well, I was; I just found out there is a SECOND! ARRRRGH! my spouse is starting to feel annoyed. I know (sort of) how it ends, and I am still fascinated. ---

Page II of second post. Eats\_Crayon is very funny. But a ghoul. ---

This saga was (is) certainly better than anything on television, reality or otherwise. Thanks a ton **auntie em** for the update. Please keep us informed if anything more should happen. ---

I’d love to see the Coen Brothers do a Police Academy sequel, with real actors. [/hijack] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/for-those-of-you-who-remember-the-missing-coworker-no-she-didnt-show-up/200770.md?page=2)
