Icing on the (I) Quit

Hate your job, but afraid of disappointing your boss? Well, here’s a way you can fix both problems: resign with a cake! You get your message across, but your (perhaps oblivious) boss gets to enjoy a delicious treat. Neil Barrett, a former employee of Hunters point Naval Shipyard gave his two weeks notice the other day, written out on a sheet cake for all to enjoy as he packed up his desk and left.

Dear Mr. Bowers,

During the past three years, my tenure at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard has been nothing short of pure excitement, joy and whim.

However, I have decided to spend more time with my family and attend to health issues that have recently arisen. I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding team and I wish this organization only the finest in future endeavors.

Please accept this cake as notification that I am leaving my position with NWT on March 27.

Sincerely,

W. Neil berrett

Talk about a sweet surrender! Although, in this economy, I don’t know how sweet it is to be unemployed. . .

Man Marries Woman of Dreams, Eats Cheeseburger of Dreams in Same Day

Who needs a wedding cake at their wedding when they can have a GIANT cheeseburger? No one really eats the cake at weddings anyways right?

Well, Tom and Kerry Watts decided to forgo the traditional cake and opt for a 42-lb cheeseburger instead:

Mr. Watts says, “Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day.”

Sigh . . . isn’t love beautiful? Easy on the romance there, tiger. Good thing Tom and Kerry decided to love each other in sickness and in health, because, looking at McDonald’s nutrition facts – 100 quarter pounders with cheese would equal about 51,000 calories, my friends (of course, if the burger to meat to cheese ratio is the same).

If cheeseburger was for dessert, I wonder what they served for dinner . . . chicken nuggets and fries perhaps?
