I work in an office of 11 people: 9 women, and 2 guys. Each year we have a white elephant gift exchange, where we pretty much laugh at each other as we open up boxes full of junk that no one wants, then we "steal" to get things that are less-crappy. Anyways, this year, one of the gals got a book. Everyone laughed at her, and she was embarrassed. I said "I'll take that", and she said "please", so I gave her the crappy hand-bag that I got.
Here's the book:
Being somewhat of a 49er fan, I figured that the book would be a lot better than the crappy hand bag that I ended up with.
Then I opened the book.
Not pre-printed. Even after I opened it up and found the auto, NO ONE TRIED TO STEAL IT.
Awesome.
The woman who brought it said that she won it at a charity auction when she SHILLED this item as a favor for a friend, and got stuck with it. Heh.

Hoarding silver and collecting history
I've never understood if the countless topless man photo's on sports books are the athletes idea or unoriginal photohraphers...

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Joking of course.....nice trade/gift. Auto looks good.

<< <i>What kind of hand bag was it? >>
Our office-supply company sends us "free gifts" with our orders. The bags usually fall apart after a few weeks of use.

The women asked if there were any pics in the book of Jerry Rice in the shower, or any close-ups of his rear. I hesetantly flipped through a bit and said "No", and all interest was gone.
<< <i>Nice!!!!!! What did she say after you showed her the auto? >>
I showed everyone the auto after I got the book in my posession, and even though the game was still going on and folks were still doing "steals", no one wanted it, so I got "stuck" with it.

The handbag you traded for

On Thursday in my team's potluck/gift exchange, I picked first. I took what looked like a box containing a bottle of Chivas. It ended up being a can of Poop Freeze
