Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved tea so much that
he bought his own kettle to keep at work with him. He would then go and
get water from the water cooler, and happyily brew whatever tea he
decided he felt like having that day, choosing from his vast selection
of assorted teas.
One day, the little boy decided that he wanted some jasmine tea. He
looked around, but discovered that he was all out. Shrugging
he looked for some oolong tea which he was also out of.
The little boy searched and he searched, but to his dismay, he seemed to
be out of every flavour of tea he could think of. Sadly, he found he
only had regular tea left, so he took some
tea beans, ground them up, boiled some water, and made his tea. Pouring
the steaming black nectar into a cup, the heady aroma reached his
nostrils and he salivated in anticipation.
A wandering coworker meandered by and noticed the whole production.
"That's a pretty impressive cup of coffee you have there," he
said. The little boy was so shocked to realize that he hadn't been
drinking coffee instead of tea all this time, that he dropped his mug
and it shattered into a thousand pieces, soaking the carpet. Before he
could clean up the mess and make another cup, he died of caffine
withdrawl.

Once upon a time, there was a little superhero who was young and
idealistic. He was new to the superhero business, and had grand schemes
of becoming respected and loved, and dreamed of such evil-doers as the
Joker, Doctor Octopus, and Mr. Fear and Jelly Sandwich.
Sadly, his exploits were less than notable, and the little superhero was
subjected to meager villans, and last-page headlines when he could get
even that much until one day, to his delight, Mr. Fear and Jelly
Sandwich was spotted riding his signature giant robotic cuisinart through
Verylargecitiopolous leaving a trail of destruction and bread crumbs in
his wake!
Joy wells up from within the very fibre of the little superhero's being.
Finally, this was his big break! This was what he was put on this earth
to do! His joy lasts until he is sucked into the robot's intake valve,
and is julienned.
