[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 174159, member: 8657"] Thought of a few more. Maybe I'm getting "partzimers" since I can't remember everything all at once... In the days before guard shacks and all that, my manager was about to turn 40. He was a great guy, now retired; everybody just loved him. We decided to 'put on the dog' and arranged a surprise birthday party for him in the office. We set it up in the conference room which was far enough away so he didn't notice all the activity. We brought food in and I collected $ for a cake and a singing telegram. Didn't specify much on what the singing telegram should be, just said it was for an office party. Our manager was a small, tidy man; five foot, maybe. And he didn't like to be touched. Don't shake his hand, pat him on the back, none of that stuff. So I met the singing telegram at the front door of UPS. Right away I knew this would be interesting. She wore a coat over her outfit, of course, a pretty lady with a large frame who stood well over over six feet. I hid her in the supply closet in the conference room and we got our boss to come in there. Surrounded by the food, gifts, cake and singing, we saw the telegraph bound out of the closet wearing a bit of red satin but mostly black lace and black fishnet. She grabbed him and plunked him down on her lap, don't think his feet touched the floor. She kept hugging him and kissing him and burying him in her bosom... Thought that day would be my last! *** Another time was the wedding anniversary of a fellow office worker. We were located in an building with other companies so a guard shack didn't apply. Anybody could wander in. One of the ladies husbands decided to send her a singing telegram on this special day to profess his love, I guess. This was the office where accounting, payroll, accts payable & receivables, COD's, etc. were done and it was pretty exact work. There was never any chit chat and you could hear a pin drop at all times. It was a summer day and I was sitting at the back of the room by a glass door. We were all a bit nervous because our departments were being audited by UPS super managers from National so things were exceptionally tidy. I thought it odd in this hot weather that a young man came in the back door wearing jeans and a heavy trench coat all belted up. He was well into the room when he whipped off the coat. His blue jeans only came up to his knees and the rest of his clothes was a little yellow ribbon, tied in a lovely bow. He danced and sang (had a beautiful voice!!) all over the room and the guys from National laughed harder than anyone else. The room was transformed into dozens of shrieking women (ever been to a Chippendale show?) and the rest of the day went to you know where in a basket. *** We raise quite a bit of money here for the United Way.
