The staff room where I work the library staff have wallpapered one wall with DVD covers
The other day I replaced one of them with the cover from Debbie Does Dallas. I kindly put stars over the nipple on the back cover and made it sort of SFW. They obviously have no sense of humour as it was gone a day later and replaced with some boring artsy movie that I would probably enjoy if I bothered to watch it.

So do you work in a place with a sense of humour and what's the best thing you have gotten away with or been busted on?

There's a sense of humour and then there's putting porn up at work.

Have you seen the cover to debbie does dallas?
Its hardly porn. a fully clothed woman with a cowboy hat on. There's one nipple on the back which I covered.
( Peej, Fri 28 May 2010, 9:39, Reply)

It's a porn film though, that's the point.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 28 May 2010, 9:41, Reply)

Yes but the image wasn't so I wasn't putting up porn at work
Plus I bet the artsy film has got more tits in it. In fact I might watch it and find out.

Work isn't the "real world"
if someone wanted to use that as an example of systemic sexism in the office to get a sexual harrassment case through then they could.

Not here they couldn't
Most stuff gets blamed on the zany students. I came in yesterday to find they had built a quarter pipe up against my building and were riding their bikes up as high as the second floor.

I heard a member of staff refer to one of the lesbian librarians as
"A mean spirited, miserable, old, tuppence licker" I had to pick up my cup to stop me spitting tea on my keyboard.

my sister once asked me what a fudge packer was because she'd heard a joke she didn't understand.
we were sitting with my mother at the time though so I tried to explain in the least vulgar terms possible. After I'd explained, my mum piped up with "oh that reminds me, what's a carpet muncher?".

Worst. Conversation. Ever.

But with clam jousters you can do the hand signs!
Place the tip of your middle fingers over the end of your index fingers creating two "clams" now bump them together!
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 28 May 2010, 10:13, Reply)

Did you ever do that thing where you place both hands flat against each other
and make the live long and prosper sign, then get someone else to do the same thing and then interlock your hands with each other at right angles. Then you look between your hands from the wrist end and it looks like a fanny?

I've probably explained that badly, but if you've ever done it you'll know what I mean!

I used to send a weekly email out to everyone
It started just to invite people out for a pub lunch on a Friday, but turned into various rants about life, work etc. Then it became a vehicle for my work-based comic.
Finally I sent one out saying that I know moral is low, and therefore as acting Head of HR (we don't have an HR department), I was implementing a new policy: All staff are to high-five each other on the stairs when they pass.
It was a success, even managers were doing it. Next Monday I get called into a two hour bollocking for 'pointing out that moral is low', and get told that I'm no longer allowed to mass email anyone.

I always feel like saying "well fuck you" when somebody says that.
I never say "Good Morning", because some cunt will always say "What's good about it?", so I just say "morning". If someone replies "yes it is, well done" I will probably go on a kill-rampage.

I was on the phone to one of our customers/business partners
who is the local butcher. Being a local lad, he is actually a good friend of the family and knows about 4 generations of us.

So on the phone my boss overheard me use the word "fuck it, we'll cancel that" or something along those lines. Yes, a bit out of place but you must understand that HE was using all sorts of swear words in the other direction, he's just one of these guys who swears every half sentence.

The boss went batshit insane about that, even when I explained I've known the guy all my life. Just another addition to the long list of things that piss me off about this place.

*edit* I'm thinking that was far too long a post for such a shit answer

Outside the main lecture theatre in my department

If someone leaves their profile logged in, instead of writing "likes to bum men" as their status, you change their profile picture to the stock one of Mr T looking menacing and change their status to "has just been Mr T'd.
