    Working for a software company and they had a serious problem, the users were misusing the file finder screen, and whole folders were being lost or moved.
    My job was to build a file finder that is read only, looks like explorer, has a nice thumby browser, some other bits n pieces.

    So in order to check position in the browser I need a couple of marker pictures (I dont recognise the users sh 1 te)
    so in slot no 1 I put a nice piccy of Dolly Partons best assets , in slot number 100 Pamela Anderson etc.
    I am thinking, 'hundreds od nested folders, noone will see them except me'

    So I did my demo this afternoon, MD starts browsing, 'this is fantastic EO, Fking brill, I love the way the images zoom out at you' .
    'whats that there ? let me zoom in' 'JESUS CHRIST WHATS THAT'

    we are all sitting there looking at a zoomed up pair of Dollys norks.

    Scared to go in tomorrow. What a nobule

    Never did use them as bankers for the business and they are not my personal bankers now either.
    Pictures of naked women have become so un-PC haven't they? Does anyone remember when quite explicit (PoF) calenders used to be seen hanging in places like garages?

    I think I got away with it. Told the MD that I wanted to come out of the closet and confess to being a gayboy, frotting faggot and asked him if it was ok for me to download some George Michael piccies and the latest edition of 'gay boys in bondage'.

    Since then none has mentioned Dolly Parton at all
    come to mention it, no one has said anything at all.
