Eight Cases of Cheese

What gifts did you get from your company this Thanksgiving?
Well, I got a small box of cheese, not from local but from Wisconsin. What made
it interesting is I didn’t get it before or during Thanksgiving. Instead, I got
it today after coming back from the Thanksgiving vacation.

Yeah, we did get eight cases of cheese before Thanksgiving.
Pay attention here: It’s eight “cases” not eight “boxes.” While ordering cheese
from a food company in Wisconsin, the lady who was assigned to call the company
emphasized that we want eight cases of cheese to be shipped to Alabama. The company
agreed to ship the cheese immediately. Done deal! Everybody’s happy – I mean,
not me, whoever was involved in this transaction. Then, we got the cheese right
before Thanksgiving. Eight cases of cheese that can be put into a fridge
without worrying there’s no enough space for them. Yeah. It’s eight cases, not
eight boxes. Basically, if the CEO wants to distribute these eight cases to all
the employees he needs to cut them into small chunks, and each of us will get
one.

English words are tricky, right?

Btw, if you are curious why we get cheese for Thanksgiving
it’s because we have this so-called fitness program which aims at promoting
healthy eating. Huh…I won’t judge whether it’s good or not, but I bet I will
still follow my eating habit ‘cos it’s already healthy enough.
