USE MY CAN’T MISS BLOODY COUGH TRICK TO START THANKSGIVING BREAK EARLY.


Thanksgiving should be changed to SUCKSgiving (copyright pending).
Ok, ok, a bit harsh, but not totally uncalled for. My whole beef with this holiday is with the pre-game stuff. If you’re hosting the holiday you go nuts dealing with all the cooking, the setting up, and planning where weird uncle Pete is going to bunk so he doesn’t have to stay in your kid’s room. 
Rushing to these titanic turkey feasts ain’t no picnic either. Crawling traffic. Crammed trains and planes. What we all need is just a smidge extra time, and I can get it for you. That is if YOU USE MY BLOODY COUGH TRICK.

What you need…


Red Sharpie Pen

Brown Napkin

Important meeting



What you need to do…


STEP 1: Use the Sharpie to color an intense red blotch on a brown napkin.

STEP 2: During an important early morning, Wednesday meeting, cough at random times.


STEP 3: Start coughing into your red-stained napkin.


STEP 4: After a rather harsh cough display the red stained napkin.
FYI…You probably need to work on a better shocked face than mine. 


THE RESULT: Your worried boss will signal you to leave immediately. Grab your things, run out the door and POOF you’ve just begun THANKSGIVING BREAK EARLY.
You’re welcome!

  1. That is brilliant until the CDC comes knocking at your door to investigate you for ebola.

  5. This seems awfully close to another trick you've used to get out of work. Are you sure they're not going to start getting suspicious of all these incidents? Or worse, possibly call in specialists?

  6. hahahaha, that's very creative. I wish had been used that trick when I was working at a gas station in graveyard ;_; and I worked in Christmas....

  8. Like TS, I'm a bit skeptical. I believe you pulled this one before. Your boss must be awfully gullible. xo

  9. That was a slightly different trick that involved volunteering to leave the office to pick up beer for a happy hour party. And then having to deal with a fake credit card mishap.

  10. And also a not very intelligent boss...

  11. This could work with the addition of some realistic weathering and detail work. As it is, it's not very convincing.

  13. May or may not work based on the business you work for. Some companies will require full health inspections by personal and professional healthcare administrators before allowing re-entrance to your place of work after a display like that.

  28. First time visitor ... I usually sneeze into my hand, then show my boss all the ooey gooey ickiness dripping down between my fingers. Works for me.

  29. I would just claim to be contagious and cough on everyone. It's worked for me in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Finally! I can say I've been around long enough to remember that there was a similar trick you pulled once before! Now honestly, I have to say THAT time, I was shocked beyond belief. Nothing shocks me anymore. Ok - scratch that. Some things still do....you're not predictable enough yet! LOL!
