Guest INXS Report post Posted December 20, 2004 The reason I am starting this thread is because last Friday at work I received my "Secret Santa" gift (if anyone is unaware of the Secret Santa concept, all work colleagues pull a name out of a hat and have to buy that person a gift, obviously no one knows who has bought for who, hence the "secret"). Anyhow, I work for the Army as a Civil Servant here in England so as you can imagine it's not a very relaxed or laid back place of work. So, the Commanding Officer of the Battalion is handing out the gifts (he's a Lt Col) and as each person has their gift they open it so everyone can see what they got. So my name is called out, I shake the Colonel's hand, say merry Christmas and eagerly tear open my gift: I received a tub of KY Jelly, a pair of rubber gloves and five flavored condoms.

I guess they don't believe in "don't ask, don't tell" in England. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2004 My ex girlfriend got me a bottle of Jim Beam Black, the "Passout" drinking game and one of those "Brew Your Own Beer" things. Of course, I think I was 20 (underage) around that time and I doubt my parents knew about my drinking problem then. That might have given them a clue though.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 21, 2004 Isn't it somewhat pointless receiving cigarettes as a gift in a cigarette factory? I buy 'em same as anybody else. Big brother is watching in the warehouse. We do all the stamping, too, and the rolls they come on are worth a fortune. Probably about the size of a rolling pin.
