Halloween Olympics
Yesterday, my co-workers and I invented a game:
PUMPKIN BOWLING!
What, pray tell, is pumpkin bowling?
Well, first we had the accuracy event- roll it across the room, try to get it as close to the opposite wall as possible without hitting it.
Next came the distance event- see who can get it the farthest down the hall before hitting a side wall ( and of course, hitting the far wall disqualifies).
Last was the pins competition - regular old bowling, with cups stacked in a pyramid. Most knocked down in 2 rolls wins.
I won the distance event, but got a crushing double gutter-pumpkin to lose the final round of the pins event.
What does one win in this contest, you ask?
Prestige and honor, and the everlasting respect of one's co-workers...and your name inscribed on the pumpykin.
And then at the end, the boss walked in, wearing a Donald Duck costume and told us to cut it out.
Apparently, rolling a pumpkin across the floor in a carpeted office is generally frowned upon.
