Should have tried “sugar tits”.

I’m tellin’ you guys, “Candy Nips” is the way to go. _Nobody_ wants to hear “sugar tits.”  
But “Candy Nips” usually takes a second or two to sink in.

My office would benefit from a “Finally clean out the damn microwave” day, but nobody’s been interested so far.

From referring to the secretaries individually as “Toots” and “Babycakes,” to referring to them collectively as “my little ladies,” I received nothing but whines and complaints.

Just one day? Big deal. Every day is Misogyny Day at my office. Except my coworker calls us “l’il fillies” and asks why we’re discussing the law instead of recipes. :rolleyes:

Gorilla Suit Day is just a scam. Everybody knows that Acme Gorilla Suit Company and Ajax Gorilla Suit Company are run by the same people.

Excuse me for a second, someone’s knocking at my door.

I work at a radio station. We like to get our listeners involved in our office holidays. We have:  
Chase the Sacrificial Goat Down the Hallway Day  
Play Audio from Porn Movie Downloads On The Air Day  
All Naked Radio Day (it’s actually worse to imagine us naked than to see us naked)  
All-TV Theme Song Day  
Coughing Up Large Phlegm Balls Day  
Graphically Describe Your Wedding Night Day  
Pretend To Be Paris Hilton Day

We used to have Braid the Receptionist’s Hair Day until she got a bikini wax.

No, the next line is supposed to be: “We’re the Senate Anti-Trust Committee.”

Or is my reference here too obscure?
