Also a day off for the death / funeral if any real dog lovers start asking too many tough questions.

What if one were to place a picture of a dawg on one's desk? It could instantly boost street cred in the workplace.

Do you have a picture of your cat on your desk?

he only flames up and talks with a lisp when higher ups come to our floor, but otherwise lacks any fashion sense and is quite knowledgeable with ESPN stats.

1) Surveil said VP after work or on weekend.
2) "Catch" him sexing with women. Photograph.
3) Blackmail for corner office and pay raise.
4) Win.

I concur. We should send them aids instead.

Not right now, but I just got a new frame that has his pic in it and is waiting to be swapped out.

I've never been one to display family or pet photos in the office.

I had a friend in Singapore with an imaginary dog. He put a pic from the internet on his desk and used to use its ongoing illnesses as an excuse to work from home. His boss once asked if he had any newer pics, and he was like 'oh tons' and scramble-emailed the owner of the dog (he regoogled it, found the page and it had a link to somewhere that led him to some other site with a contact) - and this most obliging woman sent him a bunch of photos cos he said he wanted one so bad and was curious how they looked as they aged.

awesomeness, i've already planned it to be the Tuesday after Memorial Day. possibly get a faux-cat to forget about it and have her mysteriously die the week after an already extended labor day weekend for a nice mini vacation.

Until it turns out he's actually gay, or he plays the bi card.
