Have you ever been ousted?
If so, what were the circumstances?

Was your ouster due to your loose interpretation of "business casual?" Was it because of what you did to the prepared desserts in the walk-in cooler? Was it the comment you made about the comparative vastness your boss' ass?


Do tell!

1. I've been ousted several times, but not in a long time
Mainly spelling bees (sp?) and games of musical chairs. Oh, wait. Does getting shot down by women count? If so, then I have several recent examples.

2. It happened after this really strange occurance...
Donald Rumsfeld was giving the president his daily briefing. He concluded by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaimed. "That's terrible!"

His staff sat stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looked up and asked, "How many is a brazillion?"

:evilgrin:

3. I'm 100% serious when I say I worked with someone who was ousted
thats the only way I can describe a political removal of a scientist I worked with at NIH. It was ugly and it involved laziness, stupidity, two-faced deceptive behavior, data fudging, incompetence and out right lying......

I don't always remember the exact details but it usually started with me saying "gimme another one and make it a double" followed by the bartender replying "dont you think you've had enough"....
