Don’t put your cashews in the honey jar
May 22nd, 2006Every so often something happens to give you a deep philosophical insight.
I keep some cashews at work for the occasional energy boost. For convenience, I keep a subset in an old honey jar on my desk.
This morning, my desk was covered with ants. God alone know where they came from. This is a not-too-ancient office block and I have never seen an ant in it before.
I soon tracked them down to the cashew jar which, I discovered, had a sub-optimal seal on the lid. They didn’t seem too interested in the cashews but they were gleefully at work. I must have failed to wash out the honey jar completely.
As I said, every so often something happens to give you a deep philosophical insight.
This was not one of those times.
