Linus recently returned from a trip abroad. His work place moved from one building to another. When he got there, he saw a coke machine. A little devil popped on his shoulder and said, "Hey dude, you can get a sugary, caffeinated, carbonated beverage. You should take advantage of this nice new maching and get one!

Then an angel appeared on his other shoulder and said "But Linus, you know that these drinks are dieretics. You will be more thirsty after drinking it than you were before you did. Plus, you will get into the habit of drinking one of these every day."

Linus listened to his angel and declined to take advantage of the coke machine.

Three-and-a-half months ago or so, I started work at Cooper & Price. Downstairs there is a free coke fountain. With Mountain Dew! A little devil popped up on my shoulder and said, "Dude, free coke! You can have as many of these as you want every day and it won't cost you a think!"

Then an angel popped up on my other shoulder and said, "Except in medical bills down the line."

"But you have health insurance!"

"Hmmm... he's got a point."

"Free, dude. Free!"

"Another good point. I'm going to go in the corner and twiddle my thumbs now."

And so my devil won.
