And if Penguins could fly, how long would it be before some bright spark thought about breeding them so they could be eaten and their eggs could be boiled, poached, fried etc etc ;-)

I saw through that one straight away (even zombified at 7am this morning), but I was actually taken in by that one a few years back about The Proclaimers not being related :lol: :oops:

I am pretty gullible, it has to be said.

Did you know the word 'gullible' does not actually mean what you think it does.

Go on, check your dictionary if you don't believe me.

I think there was one ages and ages ago about people picking spaghetti from trees in Italy :lol:

Mind you, almost got taken in by Sarah Brightman becoming the new Nightwish vocalist in last April's Terrorizer magazine! :oops: Not that I like Nightwish, they're pants but what a great idea! :lol:

Indulged in some fairly mediocre high jinx at work today - stealing all of Colleague A's pens and hiding them around the desk of Colleague B. Made slightly more amusing by casually planting the seeds about Colleague B's "pen fetish" a couple of days ago...

I tell you, it's a regular fun factory.

Got this e-mail from the company I got my laptop from. Must admit, it took me a couple of minutes to realise it was a gag! :roll: :lol:

Try playing a joke on someone tomorrow, when they think it's all over and they're safe.

Not when you do have a genuine pen fetish (like me) and someone steals them all :cry:

It's not one I've heard of before. :? Can it be incorporated into other fetishes.... :?: :eek:

No, I know quite a few people at work with a pen fetish.

One in ten, they say... :innocent:

Pens are excellent and in my job we get a lot of freebies from drug reps and I refuse to speak to them unless I get a pen :D I have a (secret)drawer full of "drug pens" all covered in violently clashing colours and drug names. My favourite pen at the moment is my Nurofen one, which I am currently using at the moment and the next best one is the one that Rosemont do to advertise their liquid medicines "Specials" service (when they make things up from scratch when a doctor prescribes a strength which doesn't exist), but the worst pen I had was from Roche, though they did give us some nice tea cups and bought us doughnuts!

Yep - guilty.
I have all purple stationery on my desk. Some swine stole my purple hole-punch. I was gutted.

My staff give me jip for it, but hey, when your job is totally poo, there has to be something to cheer you up, even if it is just purple sticky tape (yes the tape itself is purple). :oops:

Purple sticky tape? :eek: :D
Actually, we like to steal the black-and-yellow-striped caution tape at work and put it here and there.. or on the backs of irritating coworkers. :lol:

I've got an addiction to our Dymo labelling machine at the moment, everything that stands still gets labelled!
