Bertha and the Birthday Cake



I was thinking of a funny story about a lady I worked with quite a few years ago.  I will call her Bertha for the purposes of this story.  Bertha is not her real name.

The environment was that of an office for a fairly large company.  The section I worked in was all females.  One of the ladies had a birthday the next day and Bertha volunteered to bake a cake.   The next day, Bertha brought in the birthday cake she'd baked.  It was a chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting, baked in a 13 X 9 inch pan.  Sounds pretty standard, right?  Well, you don't know Bertha.
