This week's poll asked "What is the most ridiculous thing you've seen at a co-worker's desk"? Of all the things mentioned, that are alive, or used to be, this got the most mentions...

I am guessing that this is one of those totally random ones that could be anything and there is no real though process that could go into getting the right answer so that was my best guess . . . I am sure I am way off.

Seriously!

How bout a top hat.

Or a an old copy of Mad Magazine

Or an old rubiks cube

Or a Hulk Hogan action figure

Or a two for one lap dance t - shirt from some dive in Providence . . .

Or a Dunkin Donuts medium cup that has had a few drops of coffee in it since Easter . . .

are these things ridiculous?

If so, then my desk at work is ridiculous!

I am such a tool.

And it's Saturday, so no whining!!
