\"I keep a bowl of candies on a table in the front hall of my apartment. Sometimes my cat jumps up there and licks them, so I never eat out of the dish. It's become more of a decoretion than anything else. Last week, when this coworker I hate for being a total suck-up turned 25, i bought in a bag of the cat-licked treats and left them on his desk with a handwritten note. Later, he ate one in front of me and, of course, proceeded to rave about how much he loved them.\"
