My first thought, why. My second was a flash back to the movie office space and the “consultant “ who celebrates the entire Michael Bolton collection.

Does the call to prayer from minarets count as music?

Actually I like Frida’s “I Know There’s Something Going On” a lot more than any ABBA song.

I heard that they had to dress outrageously because they couldn’t deduct the expense for any costume that could be normal street clothes. Sometimes the taxman asks for too much.
