How to make a Cup of tea!!

Its abt a girl and her unique style of making tea.

She had a guest in the office and was supposed to offer a cup of coffee...She took the guest to the Pantry. She wanted to offer the cup of coffee when guest demanded for a cup of tea, she went near the vending machine and stood there talking with her guest and in the mean time reading the instructions on the machine. She took 5 mins to read all those instructions but hardly understood as it was all technical (how to clean the machine) ;). She pretended as if she was in deep thoughts. To add to her trouble one of her aquaintance entered in the pantry. This person went and stood exactly behind her and waited for his turn.

Now this female had no option but to try. So glanced over the slab and 2 different type of mugs were there. Black and Cream color mugs. she lifted a big black mug (good choice isnt it) and placed it right down the coffee tube at the left handside. Now she started reading the options from Left to right

Options were (in the same order): Expresso,Black coffee, Light milk coffee,Decafe,Rinse, tea, cappuccino, Milk, Milk coffee.

Ahh she found the tea button finally and pressed it. Some sound came and some water came from the right hand side. She looked into the cup and nothing was there. She thought " does tea evaporates so fast?" But she did not give up and tried again with full Josh. This time when she pressed again water came from right handside and nothing fell in the mug. Her guest looked at her. She got little nervous. Man standing behind was wondering as what the jerk doing there for so long. She read the options again to confirm that she was pressing the right button. Third time when she pressed she bent a little to see whats happening in the machine and cup which she kept at her waist level. Then she realised that the water she thought was cleaning the machine is actually meant for tea. She managed a smile as if she conquered a long war. She moved the glass this time to her RHS and placed it below the water tube. Happily pressed the tea button and water came in the mug for the first time. She then recalled how her mom taught her to make tea on the burner. So next step was obviously milk. So without a second thought she pressed the milk button.

Her smile faded away when she saw milk coming from the left hand side tube. Her face turned white. The person standing behind got a free entertainment show. She then discovered that for making a cup of tea milk comes from a different tube and water from a different one, with her tremebeling fingers she pressed the milk button and placed the cup down the milk tube. Guess what happened.

Milk was in the mug ;) She now had milk and water solution in the mug so gave the space to the person waiting for long. Now she drifted the mug towards the slab where two tea boxes were kept. She looked in both the boxes and got puzzled. One tea box had yellow color tea bags and other one had plain ordinary color tea bags. She stared at both the boxes and picked one from both. She held both in each hand and asked  -"which one wud u like to take?"to her guest. The guest instead of looking at the tea bags started looking at her face. The person pouring tea for himself started smiling. Wicked one ofcourse!!! Then he could not control and said " Madam the yellow color tea bag which u are holding in one of ur hand is a lemon tea bag. Pls put it down."

Girls face expressions were worth watching. "oh is it" she replied and kept the lemon tea bag in the box and handed the sugar bowl to her guest and made a cute comment " Pls help urself" to avoid further funny scenes. She was feeling shy with all that happened. To avoid her embarrassment she said looking at both " actually i dont like tea and dont know how to make either. Lemon tea is the name i have just heard and never tasted. Both the people in the pantry started laughing at her stupidity. She smiled coyly.

This lady was no other than yours Truly...yes it happened to me on 12th march 2005. come on don't laugh now...Guest was one of my candidate(female) who joined the other day. Happens!!!
