12/19   More Spa questions:
        What's a facial?  (Not what I was thinking I think.)
        \_ In Spa context probably a treatment where they dump
           weird shit like cucumber all over your face.
        \_ Facial is when you put some very thick paste on the face, then you
           lie there for half an hour or so to wait for it to dry up a littie,
           then you lift the paste (now looking like a mask) off your face.
           This supposedly applies nutrients to the face skin as well as
           removes dirt and dead skin.  (Of course there's that other meaning
           in that other context.)
        \_ in Porn, it means something totally different, though it still
           involves stuff on someoen's face...

        All heil Swami the Magnificent! We're getting there the end

        \_ The Great Swami underestimated the literalness of the motd

           in-cheek by predicting the exact moment of the end of the

12/15   I hear a lot about stealing office supplies.  What does this mean?  I

        usually just get more from the supply closet when I need them.  Does
        that count as stealing?
        \_ You dirty thief!  People like you cost your company 10's if not
           100's of dollars a year!
        \_ Isn't it pretty self-descriptive? It means when you steal

           \_ I don't know, it's described in as pretty common.  (In Dilbert,
              for example.) But I can't really imagine anyone stealing a bunch
              of post-it notes.  Do you re-sell them on ebay or something?
              Throw them in the trash?  What?
              \_ You just admitted you steal pens, so maybe it's more
                 common than you think.
        \_ Generally speaking, if you're noting taking boxes or handfuls at
           a time, you're probably not the problem.
