Dutch Department of Drugs and Dildos

I have been ricocheting around Europe like a pingpong ball in a clothes dryer lately. Because of this I have, I must confess, slowly been becoming jaded toward the joy of travel. It therefore felt like a normal week when the Swiss client involved with our current project decided to conduct a change when they actually had no staff available at all ( Read more... )

...your boss didn't invite you over FOR THE BEST TEA PARTY EVER!!!11

Wow, I feel so unlucky that all I ever find out of order in my hotel rooms are insects or non-working electronics.

Highly entertaining a night though that sounds, I fear our otherwise professional relationship might have been compromised.

Be careful what you wish for however, for some day in your future you may yet encounter a horrific hotel room-dwelling chimera of cockroach and intimate massage device. It is for this reason that I always carry a highly pressurised canister of insecticidal personal lubricant.

That just sounds bad, like there's no way it could go and be good.

Yes, that was rather bizarre, wasn't it? I must desist from LJ'ing sober in future.

I note with interest that you aren't saying where you picked up the gratuitous shiny-prophylactic-with-integrated-lube. I shall have to kiss-and-tell in my own journal.

Ah, I thought I'd leave that detail out for brevity; it didn't really add much to the customs story. *^.^*

Having inspected your journal, I see no kissing, and no telling. I feel cheated.

I will. *wag* It might take a few days, though, since I'm currently peregrinating west to Cornwall.

I trust your boss handed the dildo in to the hotel's lost property office?

(As an aside, the French for "lost property" is "objets trouvés" - "found objects". When you think about it, they've got it right and we've got it wrong…)

I have no idea how he actually disposed of the thing, however I suspect that the responsible member of the hotel's staff was made to eat it.
