123. Chemo Do Men Pick Up after Themselves?

That's the question and the topic of today's post,... sort of.

Many years ago I was caretaker of a government building with more than 20 office staff working there.  Over time I got to know some of these employees quite well and had some friendly conversations, exchange of jokes and good-natured pranks, mostly with the male staff.  But I figured that things were starting to get out of hand when, while making my rounds through the building one day, I found a sock laying in the middle of the lobby floor.  I decided to put a halt to the horsing around.  The best solution I could think of, was to pin the sock to the bulletin board in the entrance hall on top of an accompanying letter-sized note.  My note read: "Please remove, if this sock belongs to you." in big, bold letters, with underneath in smaller print: "Good grief, What's next?  Your gotch?"  

It was perfect!  You couldn't miss it!  Both stood out like a sore thumb in between the numerous dull government pamphlets.   I was convinced that it was bound to attract the attention of the culprit!  But all week the sock and note stayed firmly attached to the bulletin board.  No one touched them.  I couldn't understand why.

Then, to my surprise - and horror- I found the sock's twin at the bottom of the dryer when I did laundry the following weekend.  So the next night I removed sock and note as quickly and as stealthily as I could.  None of the staff ever brought up the subject... to my knowledge!  Nothing like putting your foot (or in my case your sock) in your mouth!         S.A. commented that I "came out clean"!  (Smart-y-pants!)😄

Still waiting on the results of the biopsy.  Lots of appointments coming up in the following 2 weeks.  Back after Monday probably.  SanTeh!
