Best. Unit. Name. EVER.

 

Let's see if we can get the poll response right this time, people...

 

I concur. I would have about a bazillion business cards made up with my full title on them.

 

I may have fake business cards made with that on them!

Also, asking my boss to implement a tease and bump unit.

 

Tease & bump unit: "Here's a job, enjoy it? OK, see ya later."

 

I don't see nothin' wrong/
Wid a l'il tease-n-bump...

 

Will whoever gets this job be able to leave his or her hat on?

 

Tease and Bump Unit? Sounds like they should be bringing the wine for Berman.

 

I can't read this w/o thinking of a job ad for a champaign room bouncer.

 

Does this mean Harold Reynolds can come back?

 

Well, I actually think this was Salisbury's job.
