I guess I'm easily amused.

Today at work we got in the new air filters for our paint booth. For those who have never had the pleasure, the filters are about 20 inch squares of fluff about two inches thick. The whole back wall of the booth is covered with them, with a powerful fan behind them sucking all the paint fumes and overspray away from my tender pink bod.

So, we needed a dozen of them, and they came in a box of fifty, so we ordered a box. Today, the friendly brown truck delivered a box about two inches thick labeled "50 filters". We are somewhat dumfounded, expecting a much larger box. Opening it up, we see a pair of really flat plastic bags, labeled Vacuum packed. Then we cut open the package, and with a sort of reverse WHOOSH! the package expanded really dramatically. My coworkers and I were amused by this all day.

It's the little things in life, of course. Like bubble-wrap.
