2. Like many companies, the one I worked for about 8 years ago had a “Secret Santa” activity. You know the drill, you have to buy a gift for someone else in the office but the giver is a secret. The kind of stuff that is crack for women.

3. I was friends with the cute girl in marketing who was organising this activity. She leaked to me that my Secret Santa was the fat ageing lesbian who hated me. She had tried to change my name when she drew my name from the hat, but it was the last one and she had to stick to it

7. Three hours later, I was pulled into HR. I was told that my email was offensive and somebody in the office had made a complaint. The complainant was disgusted and felt threatened by my email. I was given a warning and made to write an apology to the whole office.

8. So who made the complaint? Why, the fat lesbian who had bought me the condoms in the first place, of course! The next year the Secret Santa practice was banned. Thanks diversity!
