"Bob Coe once told me he did not have to interview the candidates for his Administrative Assistant position. I should simply ask each candidate to link her hands behind her head with her elbows pointing forward and walk toward the wall. If her elbows were the first part of her anatomy to touch the wall, she was eliminated from candidacy. All applicants whose breasts touched first, he would interview."

That made me viscerally sick.

So it caused you to be physically ill, such as lightheadedness or vomiting?

Why is that so hard to believe? Some people do feel ill when reading about vile and disgusting circumstances and situations.

Yeah, fun times at start ups, unless you are a woman. Why are we celebrating this bullshit again?

[easytiger]

Highlighting, not celebrating

[peterwwillis]

Reminiscing.

Why is that so hard to believe?

I dunno. I know it's a common literary device, but it's never actually happened to me or anyone I know.

I objected to the original comment because it seemed like exaggeration, which suggests bandwagon jumping for bandwagon jumping's sake, which isn't healthy for the greater issue.

If you're such a wilting flower that rude talk from 25 years ago makes you physically sick you'll never amount to much in life.

World's second oldest joke.

Yep. I heard it first in the '80s from a guy in the civil service who'd been telling it for forty years.
