Gag Gift

A friend of mine went to a work party. They were to bring a grab bag, and this being her first year employed here, she was very unsure of what to get. Some veteran co-workers informed her that majority of the grab bags were gag gifts. Aiming to please, she went out and bought a gag gift and packaged it up in a beautiful red box. A red box that screamed, "pick me, pick me." 

Without thinking about who was going to be at the party, participating in the grab bag, my friend chose a somewhat embarrassing gag gift. The realization that, not only her boss, but the president of her place of employment was there hit her as they began to divvy out the grab bag gifts. She bowed her head in prayer that her boss and the president would not take her grab bag. To her delight, a young employee grabbed her gift and she was sure she was in the clear. Only, it was one of those grab bags games where you can steal a gift. 

She wanted to kick herself for wrapping her gift so attractively! If it looked bad, maybe nobody would want to steal it. Wouldn't you know, when it was the president's turn, he was blatantly attracted to that gift. He immediately made the trade for it. The big problem here, nobody, I mean nobody, is going to steal the president's gift. It was his for the taking and my friend, well, she was screwed! 

When the president opened that gift, he almost died as he pulled out the hemroid cream. He tossed it across the room and his face turned redder than red. Somehow, he knew exactly who had planted that gift and threw a smug smile her way. 

Probably the newest employee, she sure made her presence known at this holiday party. Personally, I don't think it's such a bad thing. Shows she has a little bit of a personality. Just don't show up at his office to give him foot fungus cream. Leave the gag at the holiday party!
