Worst and Best White Elephant Gifts

My office had the worst white elephant party I've ever attended when it comes to white elephant parties. I work with a bunch of psychiatrics and counselors in a clinic. I am a counselor myself. The way we played the game is by having everyone draw a number between 1 and 17 since there are 17 of us. I got 16 which is not the best number to get. If you don't already know, the best number to draw is 1, at least the way that we played the game. The first person does open the first present and may have presents taken from him throughout the game but in the end, the first person can choose whatever he wants even if the gift has been passed around three times (which is usually the limit on how many times you can take a gift).

There was only one really good gift - someone had brought a mix of alcohol syrups on a spinner. This is the only gift that went around three times. But since I don't drink much, I chose to open one of the remaining 2 gifts that were still wrapped. After all, there had to be at least one good gift among all the junk that was already on display. So what did I get? I got a clock that someone had probably taken off one of our walls that noticeably advertised the psychiatric drug "Effexor". Because the second hand didn't work, the clock didn't work although it did glow in the dark. Needless to say, I ended up putting the clock into the trash can. I don't think the giver would have been offended because it did it's job of creating lots of laughs.
