Whatever it's called, it's happening this Friday at my office and I have no idea what to bring as a gift. Ideas, please?

I took the gift limit in lottery tickets before ... wrapped in a big box with lots of rocks. That was open at the very beginning and whet pretty much through everyone by the end of the game ... the lady who ended up with them won $60. I *won* a Dirty Pictionary game. Another lady brought a small bottle of Crown ... that went around a lot, too.

This year I can't decide between taking a giant double dong or a blow up farm animal. :spin

Nice, I actually have that shirt. And the gift has to be unisex. Would you wear a shirt that has pink butterflies on it?

Spencer's would definitely have something good if naughty is the theme for the gift exchange.

If you really want to be douchy,

get them a couple of books of stamps, an electirc toothbrush, or go to one of the registries online and get a star named after them, or you could even offer to make a donation to the HUMAN Fund, it is afterall, money for people.

Best one yet..... $15 of the nastiest trashiest porno you can find. I would love to see the look one someone's face after opening that gift, but it would probably get you fired, so it might not be so hot afterall.

The best part is when we took the double bullets out of the package and were playing with them (not in there intended use--yet :wow), some lady had to ask what it was and what it was for. :lmao
