My work is having an ice cream social soon. I work for a very large organization, so it’s less of an ice cream social, and more of a network of ice cream socials scattered across the Portland Area, with isolated pockets of just handing out ice cream bars. The really funny part of this is that there will be drawings for door prizes! Namely…wait for it…HARD HATS from the construction company that is doing various projects at the various locations. And, to make these hard hats more appealing, they are…wait for it…SIGNED! By whom, I hear you ask, by whom are these hard hats signed to make them a tempting door prize? By what local celebrity have they been stamped with greatness?
By the construction workers. Uh-huh. Maybe if I’m good they’ll give me a pen signed by a bureaucrat for my birthday…

Now that’s something to show to your grandkids! “This here hard hat was signed by John Johnson, the most famous construction worker to ever sign this hat!”
Re: hee hee
I mean, if you could guarantee they were going to be ‘discovered’ and put on famous teen dramas, like famous construction worker Luke Perry, then I could see it :)
I thought I'd seen it all
And I thought some of the things I was giving out at the Student Research Forum (a -80C box and epindorph holder for a water bath) were strange door prizes, but hard hats are definately stranger. Whose bright idea was that?
Re: I thought I'd seen it all
I have noooo idea specifically, but the e-mail and ice cream social come to us from Public Relations.
Hard hat upgrade
They are now saying the hats will be full of treats. Can you say “not enough entries”?
