MickeyD!!! I am ROFLMAO!!! (with you, not at you, of course
)
I am sure you handled the situation admirably.
To make you feel better I will share my sad laundry story...
I got to work onemorning, after passing/meeting roughly the same amount of people as you. I was feeling mighty fine in my new black bootleg trousers...until I felt a lump halfway down my thigh...upon checking it out, I discovered a pair of underwear
and a sock, stuck inside my trousers, making an oh-so-cool lump :o Not so swanky, afterall...
