My business associate had a water main break that serviced his area. He
was exercising so he went to his brother-in-law's place and took a
shower. Then he went to the office and took home a 5 gallon bottle of
water that was meant for the cooler. He came in yesterday with the empty
bottle. He went through the whole thing in a few hours.
