Thats Not a Cactus

While sitting in the hallway "conversation nooks" on our lunch break.

Vogue: Hey, I wonder if that cactus is real.
Remi: Why don't you go touch it to see.

...at least 30 seconds pass while the hallway clears, Vogue then shoots up out of her chair, prances over to the cactus and gropes it. She quickly returns before being spotted...

Vogue: I think its real. A fake one would have been much more rigid that that one, but I can't be sure.
Remi: Well did you stick your nail into it?
Vogue: No! I didn't want to hurt it if it is real.
Remi: Well go smell it then.
Vogue: ((laughing)) Oh I'm not doing that...I know what you're trying to make me do...
Remi: Well then smell your finger!

...please note that Vogue did smell her finger...casually & quickly. I was then advised that they just smelled like the sub sandwhich she just ate.

...also noteworthy. The hallway of the event is lined with glass...there may not have been anybody in the hallway, but who's to tell if the people on the other side of the glass got a show!
