Well I was embarrassed thanks to you Manny.
Here is what happened, Laureen get the edit button ready. Yesterday I went to a school to help out one of my techs. I had my laptop with me, and to be honest I had not opened my laptop case since the Disney cruise. (Hard to believe I know but I have like 5 of them)
First let me tell you what happened on the cruise, you see I took my laptop with me, kids have a security blanket I have my Sony laptop. At one point we hit the Islands and we followed Brer Rabbit around because, it seems Michael spent the night mapping out all the shops that were giving away free stuff in hopes that while you were in there you would buy something else. (They don't know pin people do they) Anyway I ended up with 2 sets of earrings, 1 sun activated bracelet, a little bottle of Jack Daniel's, a couple of those island token coin things, and a necklace with a I love the Bahamas medallion (no clue where that one came from)
As to the bottle of Jack's I'll let the women of the group explain how we got that, and the free liquor tasting place we found were you could just keep sampling stuff until you forgot you name. Isn't that correct ladies and you know who you are.
But wait there's more all this stuff was in my pockets, I want to get rid of it so the closet thing available was my open laptop case, and without thinking I just tossed it all in there and went on about my business, then we met up with Michelle and Manny we started talking and Manny mentioned that they found something in their nightstand and were wondering if we have one in our nightstand Seems they had found (edited for the moderators benefit by me) one of those products from the Trojan company (Clean enough for you Ms Laureen) in their nightstand at which point Manny takes it out and tosses it at me, we laugh and kid around then one of my grandkids comes around the corner and I just stuck it in my pocket to get rid of it.
Later on back in the room I'm packing up and find it in my pocket and yes I tossed in the laptop case with all the other stuff seal it up and proceed on home the next day.
Well here we are a month later and yes I go out to help on of my tech stuck on a processor upgrade at a high school, he asked for help and I grabbed my trusty laptop and off I went.
I get to the school and go into the office then we meet with the tech coordinator, and the office staff, all women mind you. (you can see where this is going already don't you)
After a few minutes I find the problem is with my techs laptop, so I open my case and pull out mine we hook it up and do our thing, meanwhile the Principle of the school strolls in and she knows me from way back, so she decided to sit and talk to us for a bit, then it happened
As she moved my case the cover flips down the top opens, and yes you guessed it out comes and lands all over the floor, a little bottle of Jack Daniels, 2 sets of earrings, a sun activated bracelet, the necklace with the I love the Bahamas medal (I still don't know where I got it) those island token coins, a few Disney pins from Castaway Cay, and Manny's little square item from the Trojan company.
And to say they fell in one spot is an understatement noooooooo they went everywhere. Well you could have heard a pin drop as everybody just stared at the items. Then and this why I love women the tech coordinator reaches down and picks up the bracelet, giving out this ooooooooooo pretty sound, my tech and soon to be ex-tech goes for the booze, and the principle just picked up the necklace read the medal, looked down at the other stuff and just said "Well somebody had a good time"
To say I wanted to crawl under a table and die is putting it mildly, 30.2 seconds later the jokes began.
From "so did you visit the naughty and nice boutique on the island or what" to "Is this stuff payment cause you got ripped off" followed by laughter and general ribbing, which to this day continues.
The latest is a modified vacation poster placed in my office on wall, that used to read "Come to the Bahamas" and was modified to replace the to with in. Oh you have to love the CAD department, and those graphic arts people.
Oh yes this is one for the books, and I'm sure will follow me for days nay weeks to come.
So Manny and since the little bottle belonged to Ms. Donna, y'all watch your backs, I'll get even, I am the master of practical jokes, so let the games begin.

No I did not get in trouble, those people knew me when I was a mere puppy, it was easily explained off as this is not my case it belongs to the CEO of the company. The women were bought off with the jewelry, the tech with booze, and I still have the other item to return to its rightful owner during the next pin event. This time I was the victim, feel sorry for me Y'all.
