What you cannot do when someone announces her pregnancy is PAT her stomach.
Ah, reason #7,305,422 for me to not get pregnant. I've heard that people do that, and could only hope I'd get off on a hormones defense after breaking the patter's wrist.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Everybody knows that gay prostitutes are never terrorists.
I think I've just found that missing step #2 in my plan for world conquest, and the interview process is going to be a lot more fun than I'd imagined.

Huh. Every time I tripped over kiddie porn when I was doing computer repair, I reported it immediately. Regular porn, we'd just watch and snerk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think anyone who's dumb enough to have porn on a computer at work is dumb enough to need firing. Plus they're opening the company up for harassment suits.

Hands up everybody else who reads fic at work...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
That's print porn, not acutal porn porn.

Nothing R or better.
Although it's a good thing folks can't download my brain, 'cause what I think about at work (especially during the boring, repetative task part of my work cycle) would probably get me fired on grounds of NC-17ness.

I'm paranoid about giving my work e-mail out when I buy books and such from Amazon. If someone is stupid enough to store something as legally risky as child pornography on a work computer, how did they learn enough to be able to access the internet in the first place?

I was thinking of pictures, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let written porn sit around on my computer anyway. I don't click on those links at work, and if I do, I pray that the security team is busy, and I clear my cache.
Hell, I can't view one of my web sites from work, because it's been rated PG13, so although I could still update the pictures (it's not porn, I swear) anyway, I leave that for after hours.
