My Take: The Office - The Stripper and Ben Franklin

* sigh *

There goes my hopes for a quick and speedy path to a Jim and Pam reunion. There wasn't even one single cute "Jam" moment. :( It killed me to see the sadness in Pam's eyes when Jim confessed he and Karen had been having lots of late night talks. It's because of you, Pam!!! He still has feelings for you!!! But no, she's in the dark still... and even made a point to ask Ryan to meet his b-school friends in front of Jim.

And then Roy confesses he finds Pam's art more sexy than the stripper. So you know that's going to lead to something...

I kept wondering how Ben Franklin would fit in with this shower/bachelor party themed episode. Ah, Jim... always the prankster... it was funny to see the ladies overcome their boredom and goof on good ole Ben. "Do you have a girlfriend? Do you wear boxers, briefs, or pantaloons? Don't you have syphillis?" And Dwight getting frustrated when he tried to challenge "Ben" was super funny too - especially at the end.

Dwight: Are you near sighted or far sighted?
Ben: Both - that's why I invented bifocals.
Dwight: ARGH!!!!!!!

Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, is a good guy. Didn't even consider taking part in the lap dance. And nice to see that even Michael is loyal to Jan. Cute that he was flattered when Jan would rather fire him than break up with him.

You know, no good ever comes from an episode when Packer is involved.
