World-Weary Sigh Emanates From Next Bathroom Stall

Economy - Business

SCHAUMBURG, IL—A deep, drawn-out, world-weary sigh emanated from an
occupied bathroom stall at a local office building Monday, witnesses
reported. The sigh, described by those who heard it as "somber,"
"resigned," and "a sad reminder of the crushing pain, anguish, and,
ultimately, meaninglessness of life," escaped from the core of the
man's being at approximately 12:32 p.m. and echoed quietly off the
stall's dividers. After 30 seconds of complete silence—a brief respite
from the workday which the man seated on the toilet bowl likely used
to contemplate his place in this world—he flushed the toilet, emerged
from the stall, forced himself to smile, and returned to his job for
yet another day of monotonous, unfulfilling work.
