Hey Boss! Go @#$% yourself!!!!

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Swearing at work boosts team spirt, morale: research
Oct 17 08:58 AM US/Eastern

Regular swearing at work can help boost team spirit among staff, allowing them to express better their feelings as well as develop social relationships, according to a study by researchers.

Yehuda Baruch, a professor of management at the University of East Anglia, and graduate Stuart Jenkins studied the use of profanity in the workplace and assessed its implications for managers.

They assessed that swearing would become more common as traditional taboos are broken down, but the key appeared to be knowing when such language was appropriate and when to turn to blind eye.

The pair said swearing in front of senior staff or customers should be seriously discouraged or banned, but in other circumstances it helped foster solidarity among employees and express frustration, stress or other feelings.

They used to talk about The University of East Anglia in the Monty Python show a lot.

I thought it didn't exist and was just a funny, fake place.

It is too bad that the study didnt say that throwing human waste and urine at your boss may be healthy. If so, I would still have my last 4 jobs!!
