Everyone loves free stuff
As an office raider one of my many responsibilities is to deliver free branded items such as pens, pads, mints, little clocks etc etc. This is to remind the people in the office to utilize my important wares. Most of the time there are special receptionist guards that protect the office from too many raiders. These "guards" can always be swooned with a fancy pen or some hand sanitizer and I always found that a little too easy. I've seen people fight over some of the pens,making up sad stories about how they need one of these hot chachkes for their kid or something. I now understand. This past week I relieved myself from my office raiding duties to visit a land where the outrageous are even more outrageous and people wear high heals in the pool. One very special outrageous character who refers to himself and his clothing company as "Mr. Girth" gave me a free t-shirt... Between the free-ness of it and the caption that makes grown professionals behave like adolescents watching scrambled porn I was so excited that I reverted back to my fat-kid-in-a-pool style and wore it in the pool (no I wasn't wearing heals). The caption invited the most entertaining feedback such as I bet you do; Show me; Prove it and so on. Mind you the average age at this lovely function was probably over 30. Mr. Girth and his free t-shirts was adored like an office raider with a free pen that doubles as a memory stick...Except he was drifting around with a gaggle of well endowed strippers instead of receptionists. For the sake of sounding like a fortune cookie (which people fight over as well)...In business and in pleasure giving people something can give you much in return

A pen that doubles as a memory stick? My nephew would sure love that...Could you slip one of those to Office Knight?
Thank you for the shameless promotion.
Well written.
Mr. Girth's dominance of Rehab elicited memories of Michael Jordan toying with opponents, wagging his tongue, and soaring over helpless giants.
Word on the street is you were in a "MySpace" fight with Mr. Girth.
Did ya'll make up? Hmmm...
