She came into my office and \ \ noticed I had a box of Altoids on my desk. ,;-------------,; / () () () /| Altoids are these obnoxiously strong |___()____()___.; | peppermints made in England. As soon | |/ as she saw them, she burst into jgs '--------------' laughter. Turns out she had recently had an affair with a guy who called her and left her an incredibly steamy voice mail message after an encounter. He went on and on about what a blow job goddess she was, how amazing she was, how he'd never be the same, etc. She was kind of puzzled, thinking: what did I do to this guy that was so different from my regular technique? She finally figured it out: she's a smoker, and before getting intimate with him, she had gone to the bathroom to "freshen up." Not having a toothbrush, she crunched on about four Altoids and then got busy. Apparently things went amazingly. So she passed this little tidbit on to another female sales weasel, who immediately tried it out on *her* fiance. Apparently this guy has never, ever been into oral sex, but liked the mint sensation so much that he asked her to stop and chew another Altoid mid-blow job. He is now a fellatio gourmand. This news has been going around our office. Having a box of Altoids on your desk is now like being part of the Secret Blowjob Goddess Society. It's the equivalent of having the hottest car or coolest computer. News spread like crazy among the females, who all went out at lunch to Walgreens to buy a box of Altoids (about $2 for 100 or so), and their partners across the city tonight are getting one hell of a corporate blow job. As far as company-wide morale boosting events, it doesn't get much better. Some of the men found out, too -- they went out after work to buy them for their wives. They strategized on how to get their wives to eat them. And people wonder why I work in technology.

He went to the local pet shop nd asks the owner for advice on a suitable animal. The owner suggested a dog, but the man said, "Nah, dogs can't do dishes." The owner then suggested a cat, but the man said, "Nah, cats can't do the ironing" \_/-.--.--.--.--.--. Finally the owner suggests a centipede, (")__)__)__)__)__)__) "This is the perfect pet for you. It jgs ^ "" "" "" "" "" "" can do anything!" OK, the man thought, I'll give it a try, so he bought it and took it home. Once home he told the centipede to wash the dishes. The centipede looks over and there are piles and piles of dirty dishes that look to be a month old. Five minutes later, all the pots are washed, dried and put away. Great, thought the man. Now he told the centipede to do the dusting and vacuuming. 15 minutes later the house is spotless. Wow, thought the man, so he decided to try another idea. "Go down to the corner and get me the evening paper," he told the centipede, and off it went. 15 minutes later, the centipede hadn't returned. 30 minutes later and still no centipede. 45 minutes and the man was sick of waiting, so he got up and went out to look for the centipede. As he opened the front door, there on the step was the centipede. "Hey, whatcha' doing there? I sent you out for the paper 45 minutes ago and now I find you out here without the paper! What gives?" .-.--.--.--.--.--\_/ "Hold on a minute!" said the (__)__)__)__)__)__(") centipede, "I'm still putting on my jgs "" "" "" "" "" "" ^ boots!!!" _ http://www.funnybone.com/recommend/ _ (_'-----------------------------------------------'_) (_.===============================================._) HOW TO TELL IF YOU'RE THROWING A SUCCESSFUL PARTY __ / .- - Festivity Level One - /.-' |/,-'` .--. // _.-'''-._ Your guests are sitting //~`_\//_ _.;.--._.--.;._ around chatting, nibbling '--| // .|` /( O / \ O )\ ` the party food, sipping |~~~~~| ; '-' '-' ; their drinks.

[At this point a Volkswagen Bug, painted in various arcane symbols, roars out of the living room, down the hall past you and the policemen, out into the front yard and into the nearest tree. Eight naked bodies tumble out, moaning.] You: "There, you see? It's winding down already." _ _ (_'-----------------------------------------------'_) (_.===============================================._) _ .-.
