CONTEST TIME!

Can you spot the person in the photo who might have, at the moment, been feeling a strong desire to wrap his or her hands around the neck of a certain pink-shirted individual and shake the latter like a terrier with a rat in its jaws until he/she is dead, dead, DEAD?

The pic was taken at out team building (2 juin 06, Hotel PonteFino, Batangas). First on the agenda was introductions. Before getting on stage, the members of each group were given time to gather some information from one another so that they could share what they'd learned with the group. I knew the person I was assigned to pretty well so there wasn't that much for me to find out. I had to mention something cute or interesting about her and had decided that I'd share the fact that, after being with the company for more than a year, she'd never been absent.

So we were set. Our turn still wasn't up, though, so we began chatting to pass the time. One of the things she told me was that her ex-fiance would be getting married soon. Bummer.

Fast forward to our turn to introduce each other. True to form, my foot-in-mouth disease kicked in. "This is **** and the interesting thing about her is that her ex-boyfriend is getting married soon!"

Pan from stunned audience to **** wiping tears away, pretending she doesn't want to kick my tactless ass.

My question is: If you were given a gift such as mine, would you keep it to yourself or be ogligated to share it with the world?
