I thought you at least heard this story...
Anyway in 2001 for our company trip to Key West couples shared 3 bedroom guesthouses on this private island. As we walked in on the first day, they had a pile of these goofy Marti Gras type hats. They told us to wear them to dinner on Sunday night. So at first everyone is wearing them. Then as the night goes on, people start taking them off for one reason or another. Finally dinner is done, and the company President gets up and is giving his annual speech. So finally he saids everyone who has worn their hats all night come on up. So about 15 of us, out of about 100, go up there and stand next to him. Then he goes into this thing about the loyalty of people at the company and how much he admires it. So he concludes by saying as a token of his appreciation he is giving each of us a prize of $2 grand. Thus my $2000 hat.
