The story of a manager and the food supplements


" There's a little boy and on his 14th birthday he gets a horse... and everybody in the village says, "how wonderful. the boy got a horse"
And the Zen master says, "we'll see."
Two years later The boy falls off the horse, breaks his leg, and everyone in the village says, "how terrible."
And the Zen master says, "We'll see."
Then, a war breaks out and all the young men have to go off and fight... except the boy can't cause his legs all messed up. and everybody in the village says, "How wonderful."  Now the Zen master says, "We'll see."                                   --Charlie Wilsons War
Once upon a day, a hospital manager goes on a clean up drive. As part of the drive the manager meets the head  pharmacist, the man in question has a problem, what does he do with the large number of energy drinks that the pharmacy has? Should he just dump them?

"can't you just send them back?" the manager enquires
 "no" says the pharmacist explains "they are free samples given by pharmaceutical reps."
"In that case, just dump them.. why don't you just pour them down the drain and dump the packets in the trash."  the manager says
"Why empty them and dump the packets?" asks the pharmacist

"Well what would people think if some newspaper publishes a story of how we waste good medicines, just dump the drinks down the drain, I mean it's not like anyone is going to notice it" matter of factly, said the manager.

So the pharmacist does as he was told, he pours the energy drinks down the drains and dumps the empty sachets in the trash.

Now you would expect that to be the end of the story, but this would not be a good story if it did, you see some months later, reports of the trash at the local hospital being knocked down started spreading. After investigation it was discovered that the culprit was rats, not just ordinary rats but in fact extremely big, fat and strong rats.

The local sewage and pest control people were befuddled, they'd never seen rats of that size before. They asked each other, who on earth could have fed these rats so well and unleashed them on the general public?

The manager declined to comment on his own role in the story of the food supplements and the oversized rats.
