My coworker went to a meeting in Phoenix the other week. Before she left, I jokingly in all seriousness asked her to steal pieces of cacti that she would likely have encountered so I could root and grow them. Although she was attacked by what she called a "jumping cactus" that literally threw itself upon her as she wandered past it, she didn't bring back any broken-off bits.
She did, however, bring me a mini collection of cute-as-a-button cacti in an awesome painted clay container from the botanical garden! She tells me that on her way to the airport to return to DC, she ran across a little league baseball game and watched it with the cacti (cacti get in to games free, in case you were wondering--better than children!).
Can I say "I heart you, coworker!" without HR getting in a huff?
