Funny thing. I have a friend who back in college went hiking and somewhere along the way must've rubbed against some poison ivy plants. Well, at the time his girlfriend was out of town, and so he was left with taking care of himself, so to speak.

Turns out getting poison ivy on your junk is hilarious when it happens to someone else.

Say nothing. Add some greenish-gray makeup, just enough to make your hands look a little "off" in addition to being bumpy. Subtlety is key.

If they ask, refuse to talk about it. A couple of times during the day, allow yourself to be seen with your hand slowly crawling across your desk apparently of its own accord. Then pretend you just noticed it's doing that and quickly stick the hand behind your back or put something on top of it. React angrily if questioned.

When the poison ivy clears up, put some fake stitched around your wrists, so it looks like you had the hands replaced. Act perfectly normal and deny that anything was ever wrong.

One time I called in sick with cunnilingus. True story. It was the year after I graduated high school.

"Whoa, what is that? It sounds pretty serious."

"Yeah, the doc says if I'm not careful it could develop into full-blown coitus."

"Then take the day off. Take the whole weekend. Get better!"

Oh, how we laughed, me and my then-girlfriend. And I wasn't technically lying...

I think its amazing in this day and age how many people are still convinced that poison ivy is contagious.

You could take an open, pus filled, green sauce oozing, bubbly and runny poison ivy infested wound and scrape it across someone's open mouth and not be worried about giving them a rash.

There. Now don't you all feel silly?

mekki: Tell them you had a bad allergic reaction to garlic. And then every time you pass a window, hiss at the sunlight and scurry away. The rest of the time, you act normal.

I think the more appropriate gag is say you touched Holy Water, and it's really weird that the stuff just burned you right then and there. Go into all the logically ensuing details... "the doctor says it's an allergic reaction, but it's really weird." "we checked and maybe it's got something to do with the faucet, like the water's really hard or something" "maybe some kid put something in it as a joke, but it didn't bother anyone else, so some kind of allergy we think". That mundane laboring-the-question lends credibility. The gullible will be alarmed.

True (not cool) story: My best friend in high school got poison ivy on his penis while peeing late at night in the bushes behind his house. He then farked his GF shortly thereafter. So he had the reaction all over his crotch and she had it in her hoohah. I thought she was considerably worse off than him.
