Tom, it is remarkable what can happen with technology. This did make me laugh and smile, and it gives me a good feeling. Thanks for providing something that enhances good mood maintenance! Smiles, of course! Everyone on the call would be extremely jealous!!!

Thank you Duke, we have to be so careful these days, cameras everywhere. Not everyday you'd see a naked lady whilst at work lol. Tom

Thank you Sara, all good here ,happy that you are okay. Surveillance is everywhere now, even in the home. Frightening really. Tom

Lol, they zoomed in

Tom Cunningham

Well it certainly brightened up the meeting lol. Tom

Victor Buhagiar

Now that is certainly funny.

Tom Cunningham

Thank you Victor, went for humour rather than roses and chocolate. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

And that’s why he’s smiling! Must be careful with the cameras. They can give full disclosure! lol

Tom Cunningham

January 22, 2026 at 10:30 AM

Lol I agree Kim, surveillance is everywhere, what worries me is AI can manipulate footage. I was standing next to a lifesized nutcracker before Christmas and my wife took a pic, my daughter created a video of me going Mike Tyson on it. Tom

Thank you Karen, I read about a similar case and that was the inspiration for this one, glad you enjoyed it. Tom

Nicely done, methinks, Tom. Especially that play on words with 'in' and 'on.' Hearts and Flowers, gw

Lol, thanks Gershon, it's easy to forget sometimes ,you can easily forget sometimes,caught up in the moment. Just because the green light isn't flashing doesn't mean your 100% safe, hackers can look in anytime. Tom

Hello Tom This made me laugh out loud. I could feel the sudden jolt of embarrassment and the humor in that moment. It’s short, sharp, and exactly the kind of story you can’t forget once it’s in your head. LOL! Winter Blessings, Tom, Daniel

Thank you Daniel, I've heard of similar things happening, big brother has eyes everywhere, wait until he has xray cameras, we'll have to cover our houses in tin foil lol. Hope your week is going well. Tom
