Ultimate Lunch Break: The Ice Cream Catastrophe

One of my favorite birthday gifts this year was this pet rock. I think his name is “Stinky” or something else you would typically name a skunk. Today after a chaotic holiday schedule, the boss noticed the new addition to my desk:
THE BOSS: Wow, that’s a really sweet pet rock.
