   So I got some poison ivy on my hands this weekend. What exotic disease should I tell my coworkers I have?

Tell them you developed an allergy to your dick so the rash is likely permanent.

Tell them you have poison ivy and then pretend to touch their things.

In fact, just go ahead and rub your hands all over everyone's keyboards.

Don't tell them anything. They already assume you've just been beating off with a vengeance.

Tell them the hooker you thought was dead and were trying to bury, bit you. So now you think you've got super-powers.

Funny thing. I have a friend who back in college went hiking and somewhere along the way must've rubbed against some poison ivy plants. Well, at the time his girlfriend was out of town, and so he was left with taking care of himself, so to speak.

Turns out getting poison ivy on your junk is hilarious when it happens to someone else.

I'd say I tried to disfigure the hooker with acid and there was some splashback.

I am not allergic to poison ivy and was born without tonsils.

I believe I am the next evolution of humans.

Some sort of weird reaction to a lube you've never used before. Don't go into anymore detail than that, let your coworkers fill the rest in.

Tell them it's poison ivy, and stay the f**k home, you stupid asshole.

Some people are allergic to that and it leaves pus-streaming open sores.

Technically, as long as the original oils were washed off after exposure, the pus from the sores is not "contagious" and won't cause poison ivy to spread.

But since most people don't know that, this is still a funny idea.

Or maybe subby could hand out print outs with that information on them, and see how many people actually take one.

*hello?*

*Hi, this is Dan's wife, he can't come in today"

"Why is that, is he ok?"

"Yes, but he has a severe case of poison ivy"

"wut? He can't come in because he has poison ivy?"

"Yes, but it's on his privates"

"Unless he's using that part of his anatomy to bust suds, he needs to come in..... on second thought, take as long as he needs"

/yes, a dishwasher had his wife call in sick for him because, in his exact words.... "I got poison ivy on my balls" (and he sounded like Foghorn Leghorn)
