What a crap week this has been... glad its over. I will be a good girl and continue to recooperate. UGH. I did find out how the rest of the fart machine story went - after I handed the controls over to Nicole last week. She had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face. Apparently, all Thursday afternoon, Nicole kept setting the fart machine off (hidden in Benjamin's cubical). Every time someone would come in and talk to either Pam or Benjamin, Nicole would set it off. This continued through Friday. At lunch time, Nicole, Janna and Pam all went out to lunch. As soon as they reached the outside door, Pam said (with MUCH relief) that she was sooooo glad to be out of there. When asked why, she replied, "I haven't been able to concentrate on work all day long! That Benjamin keeps farting! Oh, and the SMELL!!" At this point, Nicole and Janna could hardly contain themselves, but they held on... The fart machine is a remarkable toy, but there is NO SMELL. Talk about the power of suggestion!! Pam still has no clue there was ever a fart machine. Benjamin doesn't work there any more, so we can't ask him how he felt about it all... maybe he thought it was Pam and was too big of a gentleman to say anything?? Or... maybe he was taking advantage of the noises and actually making some of his own, which would mean there *really* was a smell?? We may NEVER know...
