The Case of the Missing Midori


Some weeks ago My wife and I found ourselves in a position in which we needed cash but there did not seem to be any ATMs around. So after walking around for a while and trying at different stores that we came across a bottle shop but we needed to buy something before we could take any cash out. So we opted to buy this 4 pack of Midori Lemon liquor.

Now neither myself nor my wife drink alcohol. That is not to say that we haven't tried any - just that we haven't come across any that we liked enough to keep on buying them. Coca Cola is good enough for us. Anyways after we brought this Midori home, I opened one and tried it, thinking that it should taste of lemon so how bad could it be right? ... It was pretty bad.

So anyways this open bottle went into the fridge and the other three went into the cupboard where it stayed till Dina got fed up and told me to take it to my workplace and give it to my co-workers. So thats what I did.

They seemed to love it. It turned out to be one of their favourite drinks actually. So M put it into the fridge saying it tasted better when cold. That was a Wednesday and we had planned on going to lunch after we finished. And M did not take the bottles with her. They remained in the fridge for two days.

On Friday, I came into the tea room and there was a big riot going on. M was furious as the bottles had disappeared. She was in a real state and had started a tirade about thieves and rotten bastards! It went on for a full 10 minutes after I came in and seemed to have been going on for the past half hour.

So anyway she was giving me a ride home and she was still a bit mad. Her mind was still on the stolen Midori and she almost ran a red light. Luckily she managed to stop before having an accident and I swallowed my heard back down again.

Of course the next day we found out what had really happened to the Midori. The other three in my crew had taken them! When I had brought the bottles in I had told them it was for all of them and M had taken the initiative and put them in the fridge. The other three had thought she might have taken hers already and they had taken the rest! M was not too pleased!

Through all this of course I had a big smile on my face. Who knew that when I bought these drinks that I could not drink, it would lead to so much entertainment.
