While most companies refrain from allowing consumption of alcohol on the
 premises, there are some arguments for changing that policy.
 
 Reasons for allowing drinking at work include:
   1.  It's an incentive to show up.
   2.  It reduces stress.
   3.  It leads to more honest communications.
   4.  It reduces complaints about low pay.
   5.  It cuts down on time off because you can work with a hangover.
   6.  Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants
       to hear.
   7.  It helps save on heating costs in the winter.
   8.  It encourages carpooling.
   9.  Increases job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don't
       care.
  10. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.
  11. It makes fellow employees look better.
  12. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
  13. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
  14. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
  15. Suddenly, farting during a meeting isn't so embarrassing.
  16. No one will remember your strip act at the Christmas Party.

 =================================
 A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When
 she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on
 account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more
 amused. She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out
 laughing.  She had him arrested.
 
 When the case came before the court this was the man's reply when
 asked why he acted in such a manner: "When the lady boarded the
 bus I couldn't help noticing she was pregnant.
 She sat under an advertisement which read  "Coming Soon: The Gold
 Dust Twins", then she moved under one that read "Sloans Liniments
 remove Swelling".
 
 "I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement
 which read "William Stick Did The Trick". Then I could not control
 myself any longer when on the fourth move she sat under an
 advertisement which read "Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this
 accident."
 
 He won the case.
