This is where I hope ST can shine. I am being the subject of a practical joke on Friday...

Posted by Banzai! Mar 28 '11, 09:35

I am *pretty confident* that my coworkers (mostly women) are throwing me a "baby shower" (I am neither married, nor expecting a child). I would like to do something to get them back at that time. Any thoughts are very much appreciated.
