So I work at an Amazon warehouse, (Yes, I know.) and a few months back, management decided to have a fire drill in the middle of winter.

To this day I still get a chuckle from the mental image of a stupid middle manager saying, “Guys I know our CEO just rode a giant dildo into space, but we REALLY need you to return those blankets.”
