Semi-OT? - Ohio helmet-shaped birthday cake brought to work - What would you do?

Usually I would NOT call this board material, but it's a slow day.  Also, I'm in a bit of a dilemma as to how to proceed and could use some assistance.

This chick from work brought a cake shaped in the form of an Ohio helmet (leftover birthday cake for her boyfriend who happens to be an Ohio nut).  I grabbed a piece when it was about 1/5 of the way gone, meaning I had no idea what the heck it was.  Just saw cake and red icing and thought I'd just go ahead and appease myself.  (It must also be noted that I live in Oklahoma City, so it would be uncommon to find an Ohio cake in the breakroom).

However, upon exiting the breakroom, she catches me with the cake in hand (knowing I'm a Michigan fan) and informs me of what it is I will be eating and proceeds with, "Hope you like it!" followed by an amused giggle.

My gut feeling is that I should just take the piece that I have along with the remaining portion of the cake and just dump it in her trash can by her cubicle as she watches, but that seems like it might be a little too harsh and unclassy.  I truly have no intentions of eating the piece I grabbed, so at the very least it will be emptied into this trash can sitting here next to me.

So I ask you, what would you do in this situation?

Before I answer I need to know a few details:

  • When you are turned towards her, do you have a direct line to her face, meaning can she see you and you see her?
  • What is the distance in meters from your desk to hers?
  • What is her current elevation and yours. Calculate this by height from the floor to the top of her head in a sitting position, and the floor to your shoulder, again, in meters.
  • What is the current baromic pressure of your office?
  • How good is your throwing arm?

I refuse to answer your question. A true fan wouldn't have to ask the question but would possess an inherent sense of what will or will not display true Michigan fandom in the choice to consume or not consume cake. And the most important thing here is that you show that you're a TRUE Michigan fan. P.S.: I'm glad that UM loyalty has now replaced penis size as the end-all and be-all.

You guys make it seem like such an easy decision.  She is quite attractive, but also very evil in her schemes.  That "amused giggle" was pure evil.  I just don't respond to that very well.  Hence the dilemma.

On the box where the cake rests, it is written.. "Take some, yummm."

So instead of going too far with the whole toss the cake at her/in the garbage in front of her idea, I just decided to write with permanent marker on the box, "J/k, don't.  It's poison." 

I don't really care if anything comes of it, but I feel better having done that.
