    I never understand this shit at work either. Everyone outside of work seems to enjoy adult things that include swearing or certain types of humor, but if you do it at work and are slightly human, then for some reason you’re a scumbag p.o.s. and are treated like nobody acts that way.

      Swearing I’ll grant you, I don’t really understand not swearing at work. But I do minimize it.

      The jokes thing, though? Humor can all too easily ostracize, offend, or otherwise “other” fellow workers. What someone might consider funny, and maybe those around them do, too, could make someone else seriously uncomfortable.

      It’s best to be careful about the jokes you tell at work.

    [AlexBrundle] Or… we let them be human beings?

    But Alex, think of the sponsors! Don’t you know any consumer hearing as much as a hint of a swear word means they’ll swear off your products forever? Google have been very clear about this on YouTube. Think of the poor, poor corporations!
