>>10395698With the crowd now dissipated Dia Shirley Burroughs paces back and forth in front of two men and two women.
>"Where's the fifth?"The men and women look at each other awkwardly.
>"It's not a trick question friends, I'm asking where the fifth is."Dia stops pacing and and addresses a man in a business suit.
>"David Leonard Harrington, thirty-one years old, R&D, employee for seven years! Where is the fifth?"David steps forward, with confidence.
>"Dear Shirley. I was working alone in my office when the fire alarm sounded. I evacuated immediately via the eastern stairwell as per the proper processes.">"Indeed you did David. Well done. You may leave."The man smiles and leaves without saying a word.
>"George Julian Hughes and Harriet Kira Danielson, twenty-seven and fifty-one years old respectively, Applied Sciences, employees for three and twelve years! Where is the fifth?"The pair glance nervously at each other, unsure of who should speak first. Before either of them can speak Dia answers the question for them both.
>"You don't know because you two were too busy having intercourse in the unisex bathroom. I'm beyond disappointed Harriet, you have a husband and two children. What's Adam going to say when he learns the REAL reason you've been working late three nights a week?"Both George and Harriet look sheepish as Dia dismisses them both with a wave of her hand and a frown.
One remains.
