Well, to be honest, the guy was a jerk and no one cared much for him anyway. By the time we all got back from lunch, he'd left. But it was pretty funny. And we all had a great time.
In all the times I've been on CoP, I've never been curious about the bulletin board. I'm still trying to figure out why Dad has to learn to speak to the oven, when it was Mom that programmed it...
I learned a long time ago (when we forgot to actually invite a co - worker to his going away lunch), that great parties can still be had even without the guest of honor!
