This is a question Stupid Colleagues

Godwin's Lawyer tells us: "I once worked with a lad who believed 'Frankenstein' was based on a true story, and that the book was written by Shirley Bassey." Tell us about your workplace dopes.

In Trouble Again

Some girl I worked with made a particularly dumb statement and I responded with:

"If you believe that then you need your bumps feeling"

Ten minutes later, into the bosses office for sexual harassment. He'd never heard of the phrase either and I had to Google it to show him that I wasn't advocating gropage to cure stupidity.

Cheers

.
I can't believe the management at that workplace had sexual harassment as a disciplinary sanction. You ought to have complained.

Public Sector

All the same. Ready to report you at the drop of a hat. At least HR didn't get involved. It gets messy when that happens. I once got reported for racism for saying a colleague had the IT knowledge of a chocolate biscuit.

I wouldn't report you for that
but I would look at you very strangely indeed. Never heard of it before.

It's
actually a very old and, used to be, very common saying. It comes from when phrenology was all the rage in Victorian times. People used to believe that you could diagnose illness and personality traits by feeling the bumps on your head. In modern times it's used as a saying meaning someone is really dim.....
