Three for one

This is one more in the list of the idiosyncrasies in my office. Around the
beginning of every month, usually in the first week, our office peon comes
pushing a trolley full of crates of bottled water. Whats interesting is that
this happens only once in a month and what makes it killer interesting is
that you get exactly three bottles of water, each of 1.5 litres.

Yes, that's 1.5 X 3 = 4.5 litres of bottled water every month. Reminds me of
camels..

What do you call military supplies? Yes, ration supplies...is there a better
word? This sounds very similar, doesn't it?

Anyway, I received my supplies of water for the month two days back and I am
already finished though them. I must be a bad soldier, eh? I use more than
what  is allotted. Gladly and to my utmost relief, there is a water refiller
in the  kitchen and I wonder how lucky I am that I can consume more water
than my share.  Wow, I must be truly blessed.

Btw - this post is extremely tainted with spiteful sarcasm and a very moody
author.
