Rev. Joe buys a blow-up doll
In any workplace with one or more persons, you are likely to encounter one or more “characters”. My first job in Information Technology was with a large national manufacturing concern at their Ft. Smith, AR plant, at that time their administrative offices were also there. For reasons unclear, hopefully not dark and mysterious, there dwelt more than the normal allowance of characters at the plant and offices, perhaps a birds-of-a-feather phenomenon.
One such character was Jon, a computer operator who had worked there for many years. Jon did not achieve his character-hood for his activities at work, but for his personal life. He had been married 7 or 8 times, no one was quite sure, Continue reading “Rev. Joe buys a blow-up doll”
Tit for Tat – ( Why Men Stare at Breasts )
This video cracked me up… and there is a more than a bit of truth in there.
