A really bad pun. I beg for forgiveness. :-D
Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

Painting with a broad brush there aren't you? Figured you'd be a bit smarter than that. Personally, my attitude was always hands off my co-workers of the opposite sex. Not that I may have ill intentions, but you can't control what others think or how they perceive things. As far as this specific incident goes, I just don’t understand why he would do this. Perhaps he completely lacks social skills or there is some context we are missing. -- modified at 14:48 Thursday 27th July, 2006
Do we see something different over here in Australia? I saw a segment from The Late Show With David Letterman where W is talking about a potted plant. I just don't get it.
Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004

A president can speak and act in the name of his country. While he's at work, everybody expects him to do so. President G.W. Bush just showed the world how an US-american guy treats his female peers.

You must... The like for me was a short video of W giving the German Chancellor a brief shoulder rub.

I completely agree with you. It's entirely reasonable to suggest that our US president embodies, in every way, the thoughts and opinions of 150 million American males. In fact, we are all clones.

OK. Saw what you described this time. No idea what happened last time.

I guess that's true, although I recall something about a cigar...

Given the location of the cigar, that would be quite a trick.

No, stem cell research is banned to insure no Democrats are cloned...;P
We need to graduate from the ridiculous notion that greed is some kind of elixir for capitalism - it's the downfall of capitalism. Self-interest, maybe, but self-interest run amok does not serve anyone. The core value of conscious capitalism is enlightened self-interest. Patricia Aburdene

I think the problem with stem cell research rests in the potential in treating damage to the brain, heart, and spine, none of which most politicians have.

May I recommend getting your superior to give you a good massage? Gives you leverage for the next salary negotiation. :rolleyes:

What a catch 22! In order to appreciate stem cell research, all of the above is required.
