A Boss's Day Tribute

I came across an ad today for Boss's Day, and it brought back some memories of the many, varied, and unusual gifts and tributes that we [as a school faculty] provided to our fearless leader, the principal. Over the years, there were cards and chocolate covered cherries [our ..pal's favorite]. Some occasions involved a breakfast before school where everyone brought in a dish to pass or muffins/doughnuts/cookies and juices, etc. I remember one year we put a plant on his desk, and another time that a tie with a kid oriented theme was our gift. But my favorite Boss's Day occasion involved a surprise practical joke, and it was quite memorable...even to this day it brings a smile when reminising.
The occasion called for something new and different, colorful and extraordinary, acceptable and yet funny...very funny.
There was a florist that had as one of its services where you could send a singing telegram delivered by either a giant gorilla or a big bird...like the Philadelphia Chicken. The staff all chipped in and arranged to have the bird deliver our Happy Boss's Day Greeting at the morning faculty meeting.

 So picture it: the principal has the normal faculty meeting in progress as everyone in the room is anticipating the arrival of our surprise. All of a sudden, this 6 ft. big yellow feathered bird races in the door carrying a handful of helium baloons.
The bird scans the room and squalks out, "Is it someone's birthday?"
And he answers his own question, "No-ooooo!"
"Why am I here? It's Boss's Day and I have these balloons for the person of honor!!
Who would that be?"
The look on Dave's face was priceless, and the laughter that erupted from everyone[except, of course, Dave who was stunned and caught totally off guard] was such wonderful laughter therapy. Now we certainly had a good sport leading us, and so as we brought him some good sport on this Boss's Day, it was definitely a memorable faculty meeting. And one that was enjoyed by all! Happy Boss's Day, Dave! And if I were you, I wouldn't be answering my door today...You may be retired, but we know where you live!!!
