Pile O' Coffee

I have a pile of coffee cups building on my desk.  I leave them there instead of cleaning 'em up.  They makes me look busy...until someone comments "Hey, haven't those been there for a long time?"  That's when I tell them about the inner conflict of man and how time is relative.  I go over the mathematics behind viral video propagation and play a song on my guitar. They don't bring up the coffee much after that...but I'm pretty sure I look both smart, creative, forward thinking AND productive as a result.
