Well, it hasn't been forever, but it's been almost 20 years, When I got this job, our son bought me a light with a white kitty on the base. When the light was turned on, the shade showed kitty paw prints. Somebody here (and we don't know who) scratched the heck out of the shade with a pin or a paperclip or something and ruined it. I bought a new shade, just an ivory color. But I still have the light. It's been in my office for as long as I've been working here.
Name something near you that is a container of some type (coffee mug, planter, etc.)
