The US Doper Social Security Number exchange probably won’t get a lot of takers.

Well personally I never saw the appeal of last year’s Dead Grandmother Exchange. And I’d still like to know who came up with 2002’s Level 4 Virus Swap. That was just plain reckless.

There was a coffee mug exchange? Bah! I hope that gets repeated. After confectionery and books, coffee mugs are my favourite thing.

Hmm… there are a number of lady dopers with whom I would enjoy meeting up and exchanging certain bodily fluids.

I believe there was once an underwear exchange, although I seem to recall there were only 3 or 4 participants, and they bought each other new unders. I also seem to recall the reluctance in part was having to reveal underwear sizes. Or I could be completely wrong and imagining things…

ummm, how about \*\*Doper Dust Bunny Exchange \*\* ?

Sorry - I got nothin’
