It is nearly midnight here and I was talking to a friend on the phone and had to beg off so that I could finish cutting out my Osama. I had picked up a bag of garbage baggies and noticed that the bag said Bin Liners so I thought I will write Osama on one and when I turn up to work I will tell everyone I am retiring because i found something worth $50,000,000. When they asked what it is I would show they my Osama Bin Liner. However I had nothing that would write on a black garbage bag and be visible so I wrote it in connected script on a piece of paper and cut it out with nail scissors ( a la decoupage). It looks really good, so I look forward to my silly joke.
I have started a “war” with one of my workmates that involves throwing things at one another. There has to be no risk of injury and it has to come as a complete surprise. The key to winning kudos is to not flinch when you are the victim. We have been using things like ping pong balls, small rubber balls, foam craft balls etc. I have taken the lead recently by using the widget from a can of Kilkenny Cream - when he looked away during a conversation, I slipped it in my mouth and was able to spit it at him, and blowing up a beachball, when he went to the toilet, that I hid under my desk until the appropriate moment.
I am sure that I will mature out of this when I hit my 60s. Does anyone else go to any effort for a laugh?
