Can fat people go skinny-dipping?
I think the technical term is "Chunky-dunking".

Things that make me go Hmmmm....
when the board of directors get frantic about the money being spent in the company and inform us that there will be no bonus or raises then 2 weeks later each of them (7) get a new company car valued at + $60K.
Hmmm....
That is cruel and unusual punishment, that is like saying,, here is a million dollars I am giving you, just for doing a good job... no, no wait a minute, I think I will keep it... have a good day!!Okay, this struck me as odd, but it could be just me. I got my yearly review from my Director today for '08 performance. The review was very good (yay)! However, from a financial perspective, the company has already announced that there will be no increases for people over "x" level, which is fine with me - I make enough, and if taking raises away from the higher level employees means less layoffs, that's cool.
ANYWAY - on the last page of my review, there is a compensation statement attached (always, showing what your increase will be). So, it says, ...based on your 2008 performance, your compensation will increase by $xxx annually on 3/1/09. And it was a very very nice amount. then I see the little asterix next to that line.
Toward the bottom of the page is the corresponding asterix which says something to the effect of "this is what you would have received for a raise if your job band had been eligible to receive one".
Now, isn't that a little cruel? LOL It's not like I didn't know that I wouldn't be getting a raise, but for a moment I got really excited, then my bubble was burst.
I'm not really complaining, it just made me go hmmmm.
Why do people hide their wallets and money in the toe of their shoes when they go to the beach?
If buttered toast always lands buttered side down and a cat always lands on its feet, what would happen if you tied a piece of buttered toast on the back of a cat and dropped it?
