The real company policy might not be the official company policy
I once worked at a place which would give employees a check for a week's pay if they went a full year without taking one sick day. Suddenly, they reversed the policy and killed that benefit. It made almost all the employees sick (if you know what I mean...)— July 21, 2013 10 a.m.
Twisted tongue
Go ahead, google it yourself: "sex scandal" and "politician" appear in the same stories and about equally for Republicans as Democrats, Married as Unmarried, and Straight as Gay. This really isn't news.— July 21, 2013 9:57 a.m.

Gary Kramer: Improv is “easier than stand-up – audience more forgiving”
I like the article! Some of the funniest bits I've seen have been in improv comedy, not stand-up. LIke you point out, the stand-up comics are more rehearsed and so improv skills can help them if (or when?) they start to bomb. When many stand-up types get a little off, they get obviously desperate and then start dropping f-bombs or go for low humor. Yawn. Sure, that gets a little laugh, and then can get pitiful and a little sad. That's when I get up and leave. With improv, their being in the moment can be deeply funny and have me laughing about their bits months or years later. They don't seem to see the audience as hecklers out to get them, and instead thrive on connecting with their audience. Great work on sharing some fun stuff.— July 21, 2013 9:37 a.m.
