Lets look at amy's picture again, from left to right.

Coke cans.
Domino's Pizza box.
Quilt.
Metal Spatula.
Glass saw (the round thing in the back)
Sheets of glass (8.5"x11", and sharp)
Notice the Chick-Fil-A cup.  Amy likes Chick-Fil-A.
 Notice that the lid is *open* - this means that the coke
 and ice have melted to an "unsatisfactory" condition, and
 the lid has been removed so as to function as an ash tray.

I've learned to CAREFULLY check all beverage containers before
drinking from them in this house.  Even if they're on MY desk -
sometimes amy will come in at 2 or 3am to use my system, spot my
half-empty Gatorade (32oz!) bottle, and go "oh! handy ashtray!".

Once she did this, I came in the next morning half awake.  "ahh,
gatorade."  You can imagine the rest.
