Wal-mart: Full of "Sheet"!

It was Halloween at Wal-mart. Well everywhere but us employees at Wal-mart got to dress up. In fact they ran a Costume contest. I'm curious who won. We had several good costumes this year. And we had more people dress up than last year. Maybe because we have some new people. We had a cop, a few prisoners, a doctor and a few nurses, a woodsprite (me), a Scottish peasant (my mom), a Target Employee (one of the girls on my crew), and a few other zany characters.

One that a lot of people liked was our day time maintenance guy. He had on his leather biking vest over a t-shirt with those "tattoo sleelves" on his arms. He had his kind of long hair down and whitened it a bit. He had his motorcycle helmet on. His face was whitened with tracks of blood on the side of his face. He was our Biker accident guy.

Well the management got into all the fun of dressing up. They got together and did a group thing. Hence the name of this posting. They all had sheets over their clothes in some fashion. The sheets were decorated with things that went along with their "Sheet" saying.... Here's what we had... See if you get the joke (if you haven't already)

T - Our Store Manager - Chicken "Sheet"
C - Asst. Manager - Bull "Sheet"
L - Asst. Manager - Dumb "Sheet"
B - Asst. Manager - No "Sheet" Sherlock
M - Asst. Manager - Jack "Sheet"
M - Assets and Prevention - Holy "Sheet"
J - Asst. Manager - When "Sheet" hits the fan
K - a District Manager - O "Sheet"!

It was so hilarious when T, C and L came in costume to our evening meeting. They kept cracking jokes using their character names. L was really getting into her role as Dumb "Sheet". I was starting to get a headache from laughing so hard. And T blurted out we had a spy amongst us. Then she pointed to the girl on my crew that was dressed up as a Target Employee. Accused her of trying to steal trade secrets. It was all in good fun though.

I did realize a lot of people don't know what a tankard is. Is there anyone out there that doesn't know what it is? Anyone who does know what it is? Just curious. People don't know what a woodsprite is either. Everything with wings is a Fairy I guess. Especially since the new Tinkerbell movie just came out on video. It's really cute. It tells a bit about Tink's "Childhood".

I do know what a woodsprite is, and a tankard! That "sheet" idea's very clever.
