Darn Sauce Packets

As I sat at my desk looking at some 10 packets of fire sauce, some unpaid bills, a letter from IRAS asking me to pay my tax and a letter from Ministry of Community, Youth and Sports asking me for an interview, I started wondering if it was my desk or was I sitting at someone else's desk.

The bills and letters are addressed to me.... good, but the fire sauce. Now that’s a mystery. Unfortunately the Taco Bell staff does not write the customers name on the Sauce packet else it would have been easier to figure this one out. The sauce packets got me thinking and I came up with a theory to prove the presence of these packets at my desk.

I had earlier imagined that the Fire Sauce Man entered my room each day via the window and leave these sauce packets. Now there are 2 problems with that theory.
First, I close the Window of my room each morning before I leave for work. So there is no way that The Fire Sauce Man is entering my room when I am not around. Now some of you lazy fellas may like to suggest that there may be days when I forget to close the Window etc etc... But that’s just not possible. Ever since I dreamt of King Kong faced Godzilla entering my room via the window in my absence (more about that in another post), I always close the windows.

Secondly, among those 10 odd fire sauce packets there were 3 odd chilli sauce packets as well. That just makes it complex, doesn't it. If it were just the Fire sauce packets, The Fire Sauce Man theory would hold, but where the hell did those Chilli packets turn up from? Surely it was not the Fire Sauce Man, else that would not be his name. Some of you may suggest that the Fire Sauce may have been hanging out with the Chilli Sauce Lady during one of his visits, but I don’t think that’s the case. There were some rumors that they were dating, were seen together at Starbucks. NYDC, walking down Orchard road etc ect.... But I know that for a fact they do not hang out together. Dont ask my how I know it as I am not going to tell you. I was given this information in complete confidence by my dear friend Ketchup Man and I do not intend to betray him.

For now I will throw the Fire Sauce Man theory out of the window and think of an alternative one to prove these darn sauce packets.
