We have extremely different senses of humour.

This is (possibly?) the most absurd news story you'll read this week:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/27/taiwanese-people-stuck-with-the-name-salmon-after-sushi-promotion
| Quote: | In March 2021 restaurant chain Sushiro ran a promotion offering free all-you-can-eat sushi for a whole table to anyone with the Chinese characters for salmon, “gui yu”, in their name. In what was later dubbed “Salmon chaos”, 331 people took part, paying a nominal administration fee to legally call themselves names including “Salmon Dream” and “Dancing Salmon”.
At the time the government was critical of the promotion, asking people to be “rational” and complaining that the stunt created pointless extra work for Taiwan’s paperwork-heavy bureaucracy.
Some participants built social media followings off the international media attention, while others ran small businesses taking friends to the restaurant for a fee. Once the two-day promotion ended, most returned to their normal names, but more than one year on some have hit a roadblock – the government only allows people to change their names three times.
On Thursday legislators in Taiwan’s national parliament debated proposed amendments to the names ordinance, with members from both the government and opposition parties calling for changes to help those stuck as Salmons, or to prevent another “salmon chaos” […]
On Taiwanese social media residents were scathing of the debate, saying adults should be more responsible, and that this was a waste of the legislature’s time.
“How can we amend the law for those who sell their personality for the sake of benefits?” said one commenter. “Be responsible for your own life, Salmons!” said another. |
I can only presume Paul was not approached for comment.

Your period of absence hasn't improved your sense of humour, it's still crap.

It was only a chuckle but this arvo I attended the first Snr Leadership Team meeting at work since my new role.
Part of discussion was the new Org Structure approved by the board, and when the CEO was going through the new roles she mentioned my role and told everyone that I had been appointed which several didn't know) then she made a little joke about adding Diversity to the team. I was the only male in the room. I did make a crack about being the token bloke.

What, you should have flown off the handle at that sort of sexist remark. So you're hired because of your gender, not because you are the best person for the job.
Name and shame them. |

Nah, the boss stalked me after we worked together on a joint agency project in my previous job. I'm pretty happy I got the role on merit.

I missed this, but that’s actually pretty funny.
