Amych mentioned chemical markers on the breath, so I was assuming that's where the smell was coming from.
That's what I was thinking. A quick google turned up a story about dogs being able to smell skin cancer, but I dunno about the smell of a lung cancer tumor being able to penetrate the walls of the chest cavity.
Is that really a pun? Or just a mondegreen?
ETA: It's funny regardless.

Yeah, I don't get what it's supposed to be a pun on?

Actually, my wife thinks Geithner looks like a Keebler Elf, so the Elf clip was especially musing.
Obama's Elf=All by myself? If not, I'm out. but they're supposed to let me play. This America, man.
And honestly, the baby/wedding shower thing can get ooky too. Because as much as we all like to think we're not in seventh grade, the fact is that some people will draw a lot more attention, contributions, etc. and it's way too much middle school popularity contest to be comfortable in the workplace.
A thousand times YES.
omg could not be more annoying. I need something desserty to eat.

Ooh, want.
all of the baby shower stuff got me thinking:
I volunteered at the hospital this week and the parent group there does a baby shower every 3 months for families with kids in the NICU. It's a pretty neat experience and it's very "equitable"-ish. The parent group gives out bags with stuffed animals, clothes, etc.
I wonder if I would object less to birthday/showers/etc. if an org did a once a month whole group party thing (or a longer interval) where the powers that be provided cake etc. and a small token of a gift. There wouldn't be a force anyone to pitch in vibe.
My ING account got attacked. ING emailed me about a suspicious charge. So I called this AM to cancel. Then the company where the $99 charge was made searched for me and found a way to email me through a former-school's website to verify the purchase because the phone number given didn't work. I emailed them back to say, no I didn't place it so they immediately voided it.
It's like i've had good customer service from someone with whom I wasn't even doing business.
Lucky me!
