So for some reason my company reproduces a lot. We have had 7 baby showers in the last few months and are gearing up for the next one. We bought a couple of cakes and got everything ready, and then found out the party had to be cancelled because the VP in question and the rest of the upper management had an important meeting to attend. So we decided we would have the party next week instead.

But we still had 3 cakes in the fridge. We only have cakes for Brithdays and Baby Showers…so we needed to get rid of the evidence.

We all started eating the cake when the father to be VP walked in. Quickly everyone said “We are having cake because of the high commission.” as the excuse since the party next week is a surprise, and because the last few days have been record sales/commissions. We figured this would be a good excuse but then the VP looked around and was like “High Commission?” “Yes, for High Commission.” He was so confused and we were confused as to why he was confused. After a little bit he was like “High Commission as in a group meeting…? Of Jedi or something?”

We all had a good laugh at that. Once he figured out it was for high sales we had done in the last few days he then went to go thank our main accountant, (whom he had assumed had purchased the cake.) The accountant was then completely confused, as he hadn’t known about the cake. Through the window behind the VP the real organizer kept motioning franticly for the accountant to go with the flow of what the VP said. We then hear “Yes most definitely did I get us cake for High Commissions day…yes…that was me…”

The whole company, besides the VP all had a good laugh about it.
