Five times in twenty years; that’s 1/4 of the time, 25%. In an office of how many (potentially, so including intermittent characters) people? Ten? Twelve? Those are impressive results. It might be time to mandate the retirement of Chappy, and that Ed remains his permanent “dad,” who has to always take him in. Come on, Ed. It’s time to really chip in and buy a new Secret Santa gift for the carousel.
Ooooh I have a story. Many years ago, we had a white elephant party at work, and everybody wanted the Billy Bass. One person wanted it desperately, and did everything he possibly could to get it, which he finally did. He hung it by his desk, and anytime anyone walked by they would hit the button. He finally got so sick of listening to it that he gave it away.
There was one of these “Billy Bass” things near the floor in a pet store I was in once, with our dog. It scared the dickens out of the dog when he walked by it and activated it!

I’m surprised the batteries still work unless they have changed them out.

Having received it five times implies he has regifted it four times. Same behavior, same results. What goes around, comes around.

Remember that song? It was so popular I hated turning on the radio or TV.

I prefer the version with “Take Me to the River” myself.

Isn’t it suppose to be a “fruit cake” that is being re-gifted? Never goes bad and nobody wants to eat.

Then you don’t have to worry about keeping track of who’s already received it when you go to give it away
