msluluI'm developing a theory regarding the so called Energy Crisis here in CA. I don't think there's an energy shortage at all. I believe that the Soft Drink Moguls have joined forces with the Power People to hold back our energy until we buy more sodas.
The evidence: My office is hot. It has been uncomfortably hot for weeks now. The reason of course being the need to conserve energy. The effect this has on me and my coworkers is to create unusual thirst levels. Therefore, we make increased trips to the vending machine and the soda fountain in the lunch room.
The soda people make a huge profit, share some of it with the energy people to keep the crisis going, and the rest of us just plug along blindly in our hot offices, drinking lots of fluids to fight off the temperature induced nausea.
