Boinked???
FOUND by Lawanda
in Brentwood, Tennessee
While perusing through books at a local used book store, I came across a book titled "Office Affair." This inscription was on the inside page. Pretty interesting. Had to purchase the book.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Oh, lighten up on ol' Gil. I'm glad to see that he was gettin' some. Now, Todd...that's just wrong.

I'm just glad ol' Gil is keeping a job!
Seems to me that the recipient already has a keen grip.
OUCH. SOMEONE has issues in that office, and I'm not so sure it was the recipient of the book.
I thought I was special.
My co-workers gave her that book just before she got around to finally boinking *me.* Just as well, I guess; she was looking kinda burnt out anyway.
Snoop - agree with you. Issues in the office and I don't think they have a thing to do with the recepient.
And how insulting is it that the note writers don't even address her (or him?) by name - just "Yo!". Come on! If you're going to call someone out on their behavior have the guts to name names.
I detest sanctimonious notes and passive agressive behavior.
lol. I bet the author of the note is a woman. I am sure the men don't mind.
"Yo" is a pretty common name in Bhutan, and I'll bet the recipient of the book was from there.
Or that she looked a little like the Americna Apparel swimsuit girl.
(I made up the part about Bhutan.)
Brentwood is a very upscale suburb of Nashville located in the richest county in Tennessee. "Yo" is not a common form of address in that community and Lawanda isn't a common name. Perhaps Lawanda photocopied the inside cover of the book before presenting it to "Yo".
Ouch!
Rule One: never write anything down! Could be very dangerous (suppose the recipient had taken offence and decide to contest the allegations in a court of law??).
'To boink' is an odd verb. 'Bonk' I'm aware of. 'Boinking' suggests either (a) as done by pigs (oink oink), or (b) performed on a trampoline?
In Holland, there's the verb 'bonken' and 'boinken' (would be 'to bonk' and 'to boink' in English). They both mean what the writer of the note seems to mean with it :P
Don't know if the verbs are in Dutch dictionaries though, it's mostly used among teenagers and studends.
Jonathan, "boink" is the US version. I think it has to do with the sound of squeaky bedsprings in college dorms...boink, boink, boink...
I too think it was one "coworker" with issues who gave someone this book...the main issue being, Ms Coworker wasn't gettin' none, and she's green with jealousy!
"Beware of Jealousy, my lord...the green-eyed monster that doth mock the meat it feeds on." Or doesn't feed on, in this case.
Which co-workers? Maybe it was the other 45 guys she hadn't *boinked* yet. Maybe they didn't know her name, so took to the ancient Chinese tradition of calling everyone Yo.
Sorry. Librarian started it.
This note was supposed to be in the address book of the REMAINING men in the office.
What's good about the "YO" greeting is that it can then be passed on to the next Office Boinker.
I wanna be a cow orker. But just how does one ork a cow?
Cherry, I'll put the moooves on you.
Boinking is one of my fav euphemisms for having sex. It ranks right up there with "getting scrumpy" and "bumpin' uglies".
And speaking of uglies, Yo works with a bunch of judenmental cow orkers. Unless she's doing it in the supply room, or Gil, Todd and Rob all have a big mouth, how do they know what's going on?
golly, eye spy. Condescending much?
Obviously "Yo" didn't take the note too seriously if the book was at a used book sale.
Wonder if it was instructions on how to boink your male co-workers, and she simply didn't need instructions?
When I was younger I was in a band called "The Doinks."
heh, heh...Freonz said 'scrumpy.'
I wonder if there was even anything relevant to Yo's reality IN that book. Office boinkings are completely different from office affairs. (Aren't they? Not having read the book or worked with these clowns, I don't know. Maybe it's full of significant tidbits.)
What about drunken one night stands after the office Xmas party? Did that really count as a boinking if I didn't remember it?
I'd do Rob, too.. He's HOTT. But I'd have done Rob before Todd. Gil? He was a pity boink. And Farmer? mmmm mmmm MMMMMM! Ye Hawww.
(the answer to my spam Q:"green")
Was it a "how to" book? Hence the, "getting a grip" part: Maybe Yo needed some guidelines in this area. Gil, Todd and Rob have loose lips and griped about Yo's inadequacies. The other coworkers will benefit later from the thoughtful gift of Office Affair.
I wish my coworkers were as thoughtful...I wouldn't want to look like a dweeb.
She always wanted to get back at "that slut" and the golden opportunity arose when she was designated to buy a gift for her promotion as office assistant..can we say AWKWARD!!!
Oooo, Phoebe! That's just wicked!!
@Farmer-Don't fret. You probably would have contracted some STD--she seems to get around.
Wow. I think I know the recipient of this book. I'm surprised it ended up in a used book store and not in an incinerator.
The title of the book: "Office Affair" sounds like a British Soap Opera, or a spin-off of the sitcom "The Office". No wonder it ended up in a used book store!
Wait, I just figured it out...
Yo has boinked three men - which is the majority of men in the office.
What is the total number of men who work in the office?
Answer: 5
It's a word problem!
although 4 would also be correct...
...so, never mind.
I personally would have boinked the book then gave it back.
Turbo personifies the reason why i am always careful when shopping in a used book store. you never know what you might come across. *ahem*
Eeeew!!
Oooh.. reminds me of the guy who used to work at the bookstore when I worked at the shoestore in the mall.. he said that when books were shipped,they often showed up with white powdery stuff on 'em. He called the mysterious white powdery stuff "book smegma".
Then he moved to Watertown. Don't know what ever happened to 'im. Maybe he's here reading today.
perhaps the recipient's name is Yolanda?
Why doesn't my office have perks like this? I wonder if I could convince my boss to advertise for an office slut? (Wanted, female with low esteem to boost morale in male dominated company. Must be willing to wear short skirts and low cut blouses. Knee pads provided)
Two possible contenders:
"An office affair" by Anne Marie Winston, Justine Davis. Richmond: Silhouette, 2005.
or
"The office affair" by Gail Ison; Howard L. Schrag, series editor; Theodora Daley, illustrator. 'Adult life crisis series.' Boise, Idaho: Professional Resource Group, 1979.
The first is a 'romance novel' the second might be a how-to handbook, or how-not-to, or what-to-do-when. At least it's illusrated!
Thank God for the office slut! If she's self-confident, slightly athletic, has a good sense of humor and speaks with an Australian accent, she'd be perfect.
It's funny that everyone has assumed "Yo" to be a female but where I work if I found this book with this inscription I wouldn't know if "Yo" was a man or woman.
Office Discresshun:
Yer doin it rong!
More miles on that 'office slut' than Goodyear!!!
Or a Michelin Radial!!
We had a directive at work about avoiding sexual harrassment. A jolly lady upstairs posted a bulletin board e-mail saying 'What a shame, I always thought sexual harrassment was one of the perks of the job'. Of course she had to send a grovelling apology to all the politically-correct people who didn't think that was funny. *yawn*
And no, she wasn't the 'office bicycle'.
perhaps a joke between friends in an office, bored by the lack of desirable males about.
Jonathan, perhaps you are quoting said bulletin board email verbatim, but the correct spelling of that word is "perqs", a short form of the word perquisite.
this looks like an in-joke to me, not actual sexual harassment. but even so, that's a pretty intense joke.
oooh nitpicker, so you are!
I always knew that 'perk' was an abbreviation of 'perquisite' but I've never seen it written 'perq'.
Learn something every day, eh.
Well I'll be ferqd.
Thanks, Librarian! why an Australian accent pray tell?
Tulip, ever see "Crash Palace?" That's Gave girls from Oz a real rep as floozies.
Jonathan, thanks for the laugh, you reminded me of my French roommate in uni one summer who for some reason couldn't pronounce "the F word" but rejoiced in saying "Ferq you."
I still prefer Shakespeare's version: Aroint thee, witch!
I seem to be the only one who knows that, Jonathan. Makes me look like the one who doesn't know how to spell. Maybe that's the evolution of language. Fie on thee.
I seem to be the only one who knows that flags fly at half staff, too, not half mast.
sigh. tis lonely, being right all the time.
ah, ferq it.
I always thought it was "perks" because the perks of any given job make you happy: Perk you up.
So I shall continue to call the sly, witty adult banter, mild frotteurism (frottage for you purists) and innuendo at my job a PERK. (*tee hee.*)
Cherry, did you know that frotteurism is considered a paraphilia?
@Tulip in Australia: to my American ear and sensibilities, Australian straight-forwardness about matters physical combined with that beautiful accent are just incredibly sexy.
Nitpicker, I always prefer the long version: "Fie and out upon thee!"
Or indeed: Ferq thou.
"Do you see a doctor or a dentist for a toothache?" Niether. Wombles don't have teeth.
sounds to me like someone has a got a great "grip" at the office.
