[QUOTE=Muffin] A “communal fruit box” is what we in Canada describe in more politically correct terms as a homosexual orgy. If your office does not have one, you should contact Service Canada at [http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/](http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/) [/QUOTE] I knew we were being cheated! That’s the last straw. I’m quitting my job. ---
