Sometimes there is no suitable response to visions of tutu's and donuts tucked away in a long trench coat.

I wasn't wearing a tutu, it was a muumuu!

So wolf, have you put up a sign outside your office door that says "Nutcracker Suite"?

If not, maybe you can print this out and tape it to your desk or monitor:

No, but we do have a sign that says "Empathy Free Zone."

How about a cuckoo clock?

We briefly had a box of Cocoa Puffs, but the boss noticed.

Two years ago in the land of no fun, someone brought in an honest to goodness leg lamp for our Christmas display. It could NOT be seen by patients or visitors.

One of the bosses found it offensive, having never seen the movie. Our cries of "But it's a major award!" went unheeded. The light went out and never came back on.

She didn't think it was funny when someone hung luncheon meats on the administration tree, either. That's referred to as the Salamity incident (she was so incensed she was unable to separate the words "salami" and "calamity").

'A Christmas Story: The Musical' Hits The Stage In Seattle

Christmas just wouldn't be the same without a marathon of the classic A Christmas Story. If nothing else, the movie taught an entire generation that sticking your tongue on a frozen flagpole isn't the best idea.

Now the movie has been turned into a musical for the stage, being executive produced by none other than Ralphie himself, Peter Billingsley. A Christmas Story: The Musical! includes an original score by Broadway composers Benj Paske and Justin Paul which Billingsley hopes will help the show become as popular as the original film.

He recently explained why he was so interested in the project, saying, “I’m excited to bring this film to the stage because the story and the characters lend themselves so well to the world of musicals… Just think about the idea of a leg-lamp kickline.”

A Christmas story: The Musical! is making its debut this month at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. The show runs through December 30, 2010 with performances each day, except for Dec. 24 and 25. Tickets range from $23 to $68 and can be purchased online at 5thavenue.org.

I just spoke with a federal marshall.

He was looking for a patient that I don't have.

Someone that I don't have sent a letter to a federal judge.

It had teeth in it.

We had the big customer service meeting. Someone who didn't attend asked what the essential message was.

I said, "She said, 'Be excellent to each other.'"

The 26 year old blinked blankly. (she mostly blinks blankly, she's not really swift, but she is very thin and young so that gets her through most situtations).

My partner, who is approaching fifty with me, looked at me and said, "You summarized an hour long meeting by quoting Bill and Ted?"

I finished the conversation by strumming my air guitar.

Nothing more needed to be said.
