Kissing in the workplace recently replaced shagging your secretary in the workplace. As a side note fewer secretaries have been getting raises and bonuses lately

That is simply because they only take showers once per week.

Can't really blame them for having a slight apprehension towards showers...

Germans are awesome.
At work they cut out all the politically correct reviewed by legal buzzword laden BS Americans dish out of their MBA prepped anuses.
None of the cryptic bs Japanese like to dish out.
Less profanity than eastern Europeans and more realistic project plans.
No problem with a little nudity in the off hours.
