What NOT to do at the corporate kickball game...

Sign in to disble this ad
Genius me slid into 3rd bass in our corporate kickball game yesterday... blood everywhere but I finished the game.

My right shin is missing about half it's skin right now, but I gotta say it was worth it. Oh, and I was safe

Well, the other team had twice as many players in the field than we did (they had 11, we had 6) and we managed to beat them 9-0... I'd say it was worth it...

Haha... it was an optional tournament that we played in, my department is full of gym rats that haven't grown up. Half our department was walking around limping today.

Only problem is that now R&D is scared of my department. No more free samples...

M&M R&D, what do they really do? Probably some top secret government deal.

At least you didn't get injured playing soccer. You'd be forced to convert to guitar . . .

I did overnight security for their R&D lab back in the late 80s... it ain't no joke!

Seriously... and they are the bomb with the free samples!

Man, you just violated an unwritten law of office politics: Never piss off the researchers. Especially M&M R&D?? Skinny-ness will consume you.

Peace,

My friend, we DEMAND pics. When I said that I had surgery and my neck hurt and was swollen like a balloon, I posted the below....see my point?

No pics, no kickball, no lost skin!
