[QUOTE=Mindfield] I think your mistake was not following Misogyny Day with Misandry Day – or possibly having them both at once, which could be an order of magnitude more fun on its own if it doesn’t devolve into the more generic Hostile Work Environment Day, or the not-quite-so-fun Sexual Harassment Suit Day. But as long as you’re willing to toe that line, there’s a ton of interesting ideas there. - Suggestive Messages On The Seat Of My Pants Day - Bring an Adult Toy to Work Day - Sexual Innuendo Day - Rude Tie Day - Picture Me Naked Day (followed by Picture _Of_ Me Naked Day for note comparison) - Puppetry Of The Penis Day - Erotic Moaning On The Phone Day - Conference Call Orgy Day - Proposition The Client Day - Surprise Cavity Search Day [/QUOTE] I was thinking that a Misogynists vs Misandrists company softball game might be in order, especially if beaning batters is encouraged. Still, **Mindfield** , I have to ask: is your company’s Mission Statement **“Stamp Out Virginity In Our Lifetime”**? 😕 ---

[QUOTE=Count Blucher] I was thinking that a Misogynists vs Misandrists company softball game might be in order, especially if beaning batters is encouraged. [/quote] I don’t know how well that would work out. Anything involving women, large wooden sticks, and balls is bound to have a demoralizing effect on the male players.

There have been threads on this message board that caused me to: A) Break into inappropriately hysterical laughter. B) Snort Gator-Aid all over my keyboard. C) Miss important business calls because I was unable to stop laughing in time to answer the phone. D) Make a excessive number of trips to the restroom due to laughter-induced near-incontinence. But this is the first thread that has made me alternately laugh / try to restrain myself from laughing until I literally developed a pain in my side. You people have actually caused me physical pain. I hope you’re proud of yourselves you twisted bastards. 😛 ---
