or:
Seems more likely he was canned for the massage.
IMHO.
Mulva?
What a maroon.
Besides it being a stupid joke, he had to right to touch her.
eh?
LOL
Sweet fancy Moses!
Do they fire everyone or just those charged with sexual harrassment? You would think they could do something short of dismissal.
How dare you not correctly link. 10 lashes with a wet noodle.
Lol!
In a 1992 Wisconsin case, Miller Brewing Co. fired one of its executives, Jerold Mackenzie, for an incident that stemmed from a "Seinfeld" episode.
I knew the the author would site that case. I followed that case everyday.
That’s a shame-Jerry Seinfeld
Classic!
To reiterate an earlier response -
eh?
Seinfeld was probably one of the more politically incorrect shows around at its time, and it is likely that if it were only now being introduced for the first time, the show would have been pulled at the third episode.
People are so thinskinned. And thickheaded.
ha! sorry, i have a kitten fighting for space on the keyboard and it is distracting.
that should read ... NO right to touch her.
Mulvory? George and Jerry’s name guesses were very funny.
Fool didn’t know when to drop it.
No soup for him!
Is that Germany thing supposed to be for real?
Very good. You get a star.
For the rest of the retreat, Preston and other workers adopted the routine. It was derived from an episode of “Seinfeld” in which the characters use the phrase “You are so good looking” in place of “God bless you.”

Not that theres anything wrong with that ...
Yeah, that actually happened. There’s video of it on YouTube.
Gipple, Hest, Celeste, Kest, Loleola, Bovary?
(True story- I was riding horses a few weeks ago and met a big busted 20 something girl. She said her name was Ariola, but that most of her friends called her Ari.)
Mulva....?
“Yeah, that actually happened. There’s video of it on YouTube.”
Man, even I would know better than that.
Sure the video isn’t altered?
Some funny posts over there.
Dude, it was like 2 years ago. Where were you?
No, the jerk was fired for being a serial idiot.
“Dude, it was like 2 years ago. Where were you?”
Logging in here almost every day, but I must have missed it.
Wow. And I got away with printing a bogus memo on April fools day telling people to wrap their phone in a garbage bag at a certain time as the phone company was going to do a high pressure cleaning of the fiber optic cables and some dust might get expelled through the telephone handsets. The memo was only given to three people who panicked and made it their mission to tell everyone who didn’t get the memo. 27 phones were bagged and the company president told me to put my phone down as I was about to get sprayed in the face. My name was mud for a while, but I didn’t get fired.
He’s a regular George Costanza. I think he should ask the Yankees if they have an opening in the travel office. But only on Opposite Day.
It was pretty widely reported at the time. Merkel took offense.
..bogus memo...etc...

Good one...
I had an acquaintance 30 some years ago that worked for the telephone company as a supervisor. Women were just coming into his field of work and he was forced to give up his private head so the lady linemen etal had a place to go.
He kept a key and would go in occasionally and place Saran Wrap on the bowl and leave the seat up.
Caught some, some caught on....
Yours was also to good to let go, had to fess up to it.
Kind of like cutting one in an elevator. When all others cringe just state: “Hey, if I did that, I would be proud of it and take credit.”....
Sorry if they can’t take a joke....
“Merkel took offense.”
What in the world would possess him to do such a thing?
I think he was trying to be folksy and friendly in an inappropriate setting. Reagan was very fond of Thatcher, but he knew the right way to express it.
It’s not altered. I can remember threads about it here as a lurker back in 2006.
Now that’s funny right there.

Reagan was a natural gentleman.
“I can remember threads about it here as a lurker back in 2006.”
That was a hellish year for me. I probably missed a lot of things.
