Wait a minute. You mean I'm not supposed to ogle the cute network chick? I thought all women were put on the earth for my enjoyment and entertainment...

I told my boss (we were doing tag-team "WTF" over the ad) that I do have a shirt just like that, but he'd have to pay me three times my regular wage to wear it to work. And that I'd be expensing the pushup bra.

And that I'd be expensing the pushup bra.

Pfft. And the spa/massage therapy to recover from how uncomfortable wearing a push-up bra at work all day would be. And the lawsuit liability for all the people you'd have to smack.

My sister/boss--the first job she had as a tech here in Seattle, they made her wear a dress to client sites. So there she is, trying to figure out why the computer's smoking, and the damn thing is under the guy's desk. She used to throw people out of their offices while she was crawling around under desks, because no way was she going to work while people looked up her skirt.

Yeah, I'm all about the high necklines, long shirttails, and slacks. With knee-high socks even.

Also: why bother with smacking people? My Leatherman tool has three blades.
