Marcus had it. Being the new guy at the car dealership he was always left to last when the lucrative Saturday came around and everyone was shopping for new cars. Seniority, they called it. Bullshit, Marcus called it. They always teased him, saying "Better luck next Saturday!"

The coming weekend happened to be time for the "Giant Savings Saturday" held annually at the dealership. Marcus baked chocolate chip cookies for his co-workers as a peace offering. They scoffed them down.

Marcus sold twenty-eight cars that day while his co-workers were trapped in the bathroom.

Ex-lax cookies.

    Thank you, Elizabeth. Revenge is a dish best served with laxatives hidden inside.

    This was mentioned in the ancient book called Homer's Odyssey about a large hollow horse filled with 30 Greek fighters that was presented to Troy as a benign offering to the god Athena. It was dragged into Troy and fighters came out and eventually sacked the Trojan capitol.

    Great Work Christopher
