Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I clicked on the link, mentally prepared to find a bunch of quaint oddities, like in a 30's era bloopers reel Hec once saw in which people like Carole Lombard and Rudy Vallee said things like, "Nuts!"... but the baseball doc -- that's not so quaint.
Well you don't often hear people compared to genitalia "lapping" canines anymore.
Bing Crosby was known for deliberately singing four-letter words when he messed up a take while recording, so that the record producer would have to destroy the tapes instead of keeping them for blooper records. Apparently, his language was truly filthy.
What, ridiculously romanticized and inaccurate stereotypes of the home country? Say it aint so! (Signed, "Celtic," as in the basketball team, pronounced SELL-tick, and used as a noun.)
Ha! I'm in the 4th generation of an Irish immigrant family, which is just close enough to the Mother Country to still have green eyes and be rightfully terrified of the cuisine.
People who say "How's it hanging?" as a greeting.

Let's say that at your company, some employees get PTO (paid time off). If those employees had the option of donating their PTO to other employees (even those who normally are not eligible for PTO) how often you you suppose people would do this?
(Just a little survey to see if our client is insane....)
I don't think it would happen very much, but I think it would happen if someone has some difficult situation (illness, family turmoil, death in the family, that sort of thing) and runs out of PTO.
I wouldn't donate my own PTO, but I would happily accept gifts of such from others.
ION, I am in love with today's Dinosaur Comics and wish to have its babies.
