What I Learned At Sexual Harassment Training Today
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 06:58 PM by matcom
it is NOT OK to refer to a female co-worker as "bootylicious"

it was in the video. THAT is NOT OK!

SO STOP IT

17. Darn (HBO:Cathouse tangent)
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 07:16 PM by Moochy
Actually your thread reminded me of HBO's Cathouse. That show made me want to pluck out my eyeballs with a melon baller for showing a freeper look-a-like in a three way with two hookers, one of whom was black, the other was a little person. (both equally exotic to the Hickster Von Freeper)
It was like a freeper nature video. :scared:

I have to admit I'm an atheist, I thought that show was a clear a signal as any of the end times. :)
In case anyone else saw it, I remind you of the scene to share in the repugnant horror of that moment.

remarked to a fellow worker her "temperature indicators" were showing! I couldn't believe his stupidity.

43. What if her nipples are exposed?
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 08:11 PM by Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin
Unleas she's a stripper or a nude model I'd say that's inappropriate dress (or lack of dress) for a work eniviroment.

45. She had on company coveralls, an undershirt, and no bra...
She was entirely within the dress code. He most likely would have been fired had she forced the issue.

48. We were working in industry, and they provided the coveralls...
They did not provide bras nor jock straps and his remark about nipples was way out of line. Hell, it was a cold morning, my nipples were probably showing, too.

22. I love work place training videos.
I recently had to watch one that said giving someone a back rub is wrong even if both people consent. Then we had to watch a video about a fish market followed by a 15 minute speech about how they don't want us throwing stuff at each other in the office.

My favorite though would have to be the safety video I watched years ago featuring mimes. You just haven't lived until you've watched a mime fall off a ladder :sarcasm:.

If that hottie with the great ass is your boss, it's not sexual harrasment.

You can call her Bootylicious allll daaaay long

49. I took my "Sexual Harassment Refresher Course" last month.
At least I didn't have to sit through the video this time around.

I did, however, watch a cool video which informed me that it's not ok to allow my subordinates to wash my car on company time, even if they want to.

50. Was your instructor the Sexual Harassment Panda?


Mr. Garrison: Okay, chlidren. Let's take our seats. We have something very important to discuss. Due to recent events around the country I've been instructed to teach you all about sexual harassment in school.
Kyle: About what?
Mr. Garrison: Now, does anybody know what sexual harassment means? Yes, Eric?
Cartman: When you're trying to have intercourse with a lady friend, and some other guy comes up and tickles your balls from behind.
Mr. Garrison: …No, Eric! That's not what I'm talking about! The school board has sent over a special guest to teach us all about sexual harassment in schools. Please welcome Petey, the Sexual Harassment Panda.
Petey:
Who lives in the east 'neath the willow tree?
Sexual Harassment Panda.
Who explains sexual harassment to you and me?
Sexual Harassment Panda.
"Don't say that! Don't touch there!
Don't be nasty!" says the silly bear.
He's come to tell you what's right and wrong.
Sexual Harassment Panda.
Hi, boys and girls. (the class says nothing)
Mr. Garrison: Say "hi" to Sexual Harassment Panda!
The class: Hi, Sexual Harassment Panda.
Clyde: Hababah.
Petey: Did you know that when one little panda pulls on another little panda's underwear, that's sexual harassment? That makes me a sa-a-a-a-ad panda
Kyle: (to Stan) This is freaking me out, dude.
Petey: And when one little panda puts his furry little willy in another panda's ear, that makes me a very sad panda. Now, I'm going to pass out these booklets, and we're going to go through each and every sexual harassment law.
The class: Awgh!
Five hours later
Petey: "…Article 36, Section 19: One panda may not make sexual comments about another panda's appearance. If said panda does make…"
Stan: Ogh, dude, get me out of here!
Cartman: I think Sexual Harassment Panda is cool.
Stan: You would think that, you little ass-sucker.
Cartman: What did you call me?
Stan: An ass-sucker. It means you suck ass. You see an ass, you suck it. You're an ass-sucker.
Cartman: (indignant) That does it! I am suing you for sexual harassment!
Petey: Uh-oh.
Stan: What?
Cartman: You have… sexually harassed me for the last time! It says right here… that now I can sue you and take all of your money.
Petey: That's right, he can.
Stan: No you can't, you little ass-sucker!
Cartman: Oh, you did it again! You all heard him!
Petey: "The first party of the first panda may sue the second-party panda unless that panda was said panda aforementioned panda."
