Note to self: Free samples aren't always appropriate to give away

Andy, upon realizing that sending lingerie to a colleague he'd never met was probably weird.
Update: Responsible for one (1) broken engagement.

Wait! What?! Please, give us the back story here!

I don't know you but okay. One of our clients is a European lingerie company, and Andy was doing tons of test orders to the system, resulting in shipment after shipment of unmentionables. In an effort to get rid of them he's been offering them to any and all female associates.

We were talking about his sending some to Andrea (who also works for one of our clients) over lunch, and he concluded it was maybe not the most appropriate thing to have done. Half an hour later he gets a call from Andrea that she is no longer engaged. Maybe there were other problems, but Andy and I choose to blame it on the underwear.

Incredible! I hope it was smoldering episode where Andrea comes home to find her fiancées standing with said unmentionable clutched in his fist, seething with rage.

Her eyes meet his (close zoom) as he shouts, "Andrea! ¿Por que -- usted siempre realmente me amó? No...no: no conteste -- usted es muerto a mí."

She runs to his arsms, crying "Mario, espera! ¡Le necesito! ¡Te quier--"

Before she can finish, he strikes her across the mouth! Then, kisses her passionately -- violently. He then flees the room, the slamming door muffling his stiffled sobs. Andrea collapses into the folds of her large, tiered skirt and cries, cries, cries -- the corn husks she was carrying spilling across the floor.

Because would't the whole thing be better if it happened in a telenovella?
