Birthday surprises

Not sure if this has been posted... But misreading cues can be a real bitch.

EDIT 2: Looks like the drawf-eating hippo is a hoax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippo_eats_dwarf I guess it's good that there wasn't such an accident... though it's also disappointing it's fake.

Haven't found anything to verify the naked banker story. Though I guess 'off the wall' tales w/ HitC.com can be interpreted as tall tales

In a word...wow

 

Honestly though why use that as a setup to a surprise party? Go back to an underling's apartment? "Slip into something more comfortable?" What did they THINK his interpretation would be?

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.

Yeah, that was like an ambush. They somehow thought it would be "cute" or something, really bad planning on their part.

Love "Thermostat wasn't working" excuse haha please

 

I agree, if I were the banker i'd have been expecting the exact same thing.
