Every year we would do a secret santa at the office. The day guards were included with facilities. Well while we were picking names out of the hat my security supervisor Sgt. Retodd came up to me and asked me what I was doing. I told him, since he was doing the same thing. Well he told me that I needed to leave and I couldn't do it because I was taking to long.

Well I walked away pissed off, but then the light in my head went off, and got the perfect idea for a great office prank. I waited for him to leave the office and I went back up to where they were handing out names for secret santa. I talked to the people running the secret santa and talked them into letting me see the rest of the names available. And I started looking and their his name was. The one I was looking for and coveted. Sgt. Retodds name was just lying there begging to be picked.

I of course picked the name and so I got the guy for secret santa. And I started preparing for what I was going to do. I was not going to let this guy off easy, because of all the grief he had given me. So we had to spend at least 20 bucks, but no more than 25 bucks on the secret santa gift.

I am not going to tell you what I got him yet, but I will. So the month goes on while I was planning on what I was going to buy for him. Well finally the day came for secret santa to hand out their gifts. Their was about 30 people doing secret santa that year too. And most of them knew what I had planned, but didn't know what I had gotten him yet.

So we order pizza for the secret santa party before we handed out the gifts. So we ate and everyone was just waiting to see what was going to happen. Well he was one of the last people to get their secret Santa's gift. But when he picked his present up everyone in the room got very silent. You could hear a pin drop.

While he was opening up his gift he stated that it was wrapped with some nice paper and that he wanted to save it. So it took longer, and then he folded the paper up and actually was planning on saving it. And then he opened the box and all that was heard was "OH That Hurts"

He pulled out this book that said "managing for dummies" and "supervising for dummies". The he pulled out this little medicine bottle that said "Chill Pills"

He was not a very happy camper, but everyone died laughing. Now it has become legend and is talked about at every secret Santa's party that we have had after that for 4 years now.

That would certainly have shut me up too. A little humility can go a long way...no doubt!
