Its lack-of-presence can be literally "seen" from afar. 500m before I even approach the mug shelf, I already know it was gone because my mug is the biggest in this entire company.
And tallest. The loudest. And the most controversial.
It towers over the other personal mugs with its grand 8-inch tall stature and udder-shaped handles. In case you are wondering what are "udders", they are teats of a sow.
And why does my mug comes with pig's teats? It's all part of the theme. The picture on the mug itself says it all. It has the image of two pigs happily gulping down a good and heavy meal. One of the pigs is lying sideway on his fat ass and licking his trotter. The other pig is licking off a bone and squealing "Oink Oink". Next to the pigs, is this forlorn looking dog standing on his hind-leg. The dog is holding his feeding dish in his paws and seemingly begging the 2 pigs for scraps of food.
Yes, you guess right. It is ANIMAL FARM on a mug! The 2 pigs are Napolean and Snowball. And the dumb mutt is either Jessie or Bluebell.
Could it be that somebody did not know that the mug belongs to me and accidentally took it? Impossible. My name "THE FROU" is printed right across the rim in bold. The label is laminated. No way could it have disintegrated and fallen off.
Here are some more 'possible' reasons why I think my mug had decided to go AWOL on me:
1st: Someone is jealous and pilfered it. You see, whilst all mugs are made equal; some are more equal than others - like my mug.
2nd: We have a company policy of equality embedded in our code of conduct against discrimation at workplace. Some ethic police obviously felt that my 'socialist' mug doesn't bode well with company policy and has taken it upon himself/herself to remove the offending utensil from our public pantry.
3rd: Some dog activitist took it home so that his/her 10 dogs at home can feed out of it.
4th: The pantry lady broke it and didn't want to tell me.
5th (and worse) possible reason - Somebody hates me and wants me to drink from a public (read: germ infested) cup and die.
Whatever reason it is, I am going to scream murder around the office today until somebody owns up. When I get my trotters on the culprit, ..............*crunch*
