I left the party yesterday before the birthday boy was given a present from all his work colleagues, but one of them did give me a sneak preview.
They had a whip-round and wanted to buy him a DVD player as they know he is after a new one. The trouble is that they knew he wanted a very specific model but there was no way of finding out which one, so they decided to just give him the money.
Realising that a bundle of notes in an internal envelope is a bit impersonal and unimaginative, they came up with the idea of making up wads of notes from newspaper, with some real ones at the top, and putting it in a briefcase like a gangland pay-off.
The pistol in the briefcase was a nice touch, but they also had a bloodied severed hand (plastic I hope) which was to be handcuffed to the briefcase handle at the last minute.
