Episode Notes
Oscar, Andy, and Toby do not appear in this episode. We don't know where Oscar is, Andy is attending anger management classes, and Toby was "sent home by Michael" so he wouldn't know about the stripper. These facts were revealed in the deleted scenes from this episode.
The shirt that the stripper wears is one that Pam wore in a previous episode, according to Jenna Fischer's MySpace blog.

Michael: The guys are having a little shindig of their own. In the warehouse. From 2:30 to 3:15. That was the only time that Bob was available. Sort of a guys' night out. A 'G.N.O.', if you will. A 'G.N.O.'... Actually, it's more of a guys' afternoon in. A 'G.A.I.'... A gay. Not... no... it's a... not a gai, it's a... It's a bridal shower for guys. A guy shower. An hour-long shower with guys.
Karen: Hey, um, I wanted to talk to you, I know this is weird or whatever, but, um, Jim told me about you guys.

Pam: Oh yeah.
Karen: Really?
Pam: Oh no! I was confused by your phrasing. You should definitely go out with Jim. I mean you're going out with Jim. I'm not going out with Jim. You're dating him. Which is awesome. Because you guys are great together... I'm not into Jim. Yeah.
