I was going to make a cheap crack about Ted "cruising," but there's really no way to top the thought of him asking the "cabana boy" to "make copies" for him (if you know what I mean, and I think you do).
I call my office the "Lido Deck". It makes it seem like having a blender full of margaritas on my desk is natural.
