Really? Again?

Once again my office is talking about food and alcohol.  No surprise.
Today the staff got together in an impromptu meeting to discuss our Deputy Director leaving the office.  He has stated that he doesn't want anything done for him, but would my co-workers pass up the opportunity to have a pot-luck and stuff their faces?!?!  Heck no!  So they have decided to throw him a "surprise pot-luck going-away party"  Here is just a sampling of the correspondence that I have been receiving all morning from my co-workers.

Yum, are you bringing the ouzo too?

It's just a matter of time before all conversations in this office include food and alcohol. 
Oh and by the way, I am the one in charge of refreshments...they are all going to be disappointed when I show up with soda.  haha
