"Hey- aren't you supposed to be at work?" my roommate asked as he stepped out of the bathroom.
I put down my toast. "Nope. I got fired yesterday."
"What? How?"
"I played a joke on the manager."
"That guy you hate really bad?"
"Yep."
"That must have been one hell of a joke."
"Want to hear it?"
My roommate opened the fridge door and took out the milk. "Hell yeah."
I gulped down the last bit of toast and dropped my dishes in the sink. "Well, first I went to the pet store and bought four mice."
"Wow. You evil bastard."
"Don't worry, it gets even better. Then, I bought little tiny collars for them."
He sat down across from me and gave me a confused look. "Why would you do that? We still need to save up for an air conditioner and a new toilet, you know."
I smiled. "Hold on, buddy. I'm not done yet."
"This better be good."
"Don't worry- it is. Alright. Let's see... I set them loose in the manager's office during lunch hour."
"Mmm, what's the big deal about that? My ten year old sister could have pulled that one off," my roommate said before he took a swig of his milk.
"Ah, but you can insert pieces of paper into these collars, so before I let them loose I gave the mice collars labeled 1, 2, 5 and 7."
"Yeah, but why label---" My roommate let out a guffaw, choked on his milk and let it dribble back into his cup. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and grinned.
"Wow. You evil bastard."
