Sexual Harrassment In The Work Place

Just got back from Vegas, so I hope to start doing some of those lengthy blog posts I'm noted for and that Josie hates.  Unfortunately. because of all the fun I was having, I got behind in taking notes, and I can only hope the notes I hastily typed tonite covered everything of importance. 

But for now, here's a quick little "woman said" story since the previous two posts were so poker heavy.  Of course it took place in the BSC poker room, on my second nite in town.  I was near the podium talking to Prudence while her boyfriend Tom was helping out there during a break.  I guess he was covering for Jane, the floor person who was one of the players in the "Rita's Rack" post which you can find here.   Jane returned to take her place behind the podium and Tom moved to come around to join Prudence and me in front.

But Prudence noticed something as Tom got off the chair.  "Dude, you just elbowed Jane in the boob."

Tom said, "I couldn't help it, they're big and they got in the way."

Jane was not bothered, either by the elbow or the comment.  "Don't worry.  They get in my way sometimes too."

Prudence commented that Tom could be charged with sexual harassment in the work place.  Jane agreed, but just laughed.  No charges will be filed.  I guess that's Vegas.  If I had said what Tom said at any place I worked, I'd be sent to H.R. or worse.

Tom was going to change out of his dealers uniform to play this nite.  Suddenly Mike (most recent story here) came by to talk to Tom.  But Tom had to go the break room to put on a normal shirt. 

Tom told Prudence he was going to change, and Mike said to her, "Yeah, and I'm gonna watch."

Prudence said to me, "Should I be jealous?"

I laughed and said, "I dunno, but I think I just got a blog post."

  1. Rob, I think it is important to note that the boobs on Vegas "an order of magnitude" bigger than boobs in the rest of the US. Perhaps as such, "boobie bumping" is taken in stride by Las Vegas women. A "breast reduction" is a "crime against mankind", so perhaps Jane has gotten used to elbos in her boobies. Cheers

    1. There are a lot of big boobs in Vegas, it's true. And lucky for me, some of them even play poker.

  2. Hi Sugarpie,

    With regard to the sexual harrasment, I think nothing is black and white but shades of grey, which makes it such a difficult situation. In the end I don't think this woman felt threatened or coerced by her co-worker, which is usually the case with true sexual harrassment.

    With regard to size, shoot for something a bit longer than this post, but far shorter than your usual novellas. :)

    1. Legally speaking I think sexual harrassment is in the eye of the beholder....it's only harrassment when the "victim" says it is. It was a Vegas poker room and Jane knows Tom and knows he is happily involved with Prudence and it was clearly an accident. As for the comment, well he was just playing off Prudence's comment and she certainly knows about her outrageous sense of humor.

      Now.....in a law office or the accounting department of a big city company, could be a very different scenario.

      As for the SIZE issue.....Josie, from your recent post on your site, weren't you prepared to tell James Woods that SIZE doesn't matter?

    2. Of course size matters. There is such a thing as too big
      James woods' penis and your iver lengthy posts are examples of this.

    3. Josie, you have no idea how awesome it is for me that my blog posts and James Woods' penis have something in common.

  3. Josie, Please understand that clowns like me like Rob's excessively long posts, particularly if the subject is Prudence talking about vaginal mucus. Knowing Rob personally, I often get advance tip-offs on upcoming posts. Rob told me tonight that he had a particularly tantalizing "hooker siting" at the BSC a few nights ago. I had to know ALL details of this encounter. (Rob has this situation noted right down to the cleavage exposed by the girl.) Rob said, "well, Josie will not approve of the extended version of this hooker story.." I said, "what about what I want to read? I want ALL details concerning this hooker story". Rob has an amazing ability to remember every detail imaginable. Reading Rob's blog is like watching an episode of Seinfeld. I live vicariously through Rob's blogged Vegas adventures. Cheers, and PLEASE don't omit any details Rob.

    1. Damn. I hadn't really considered blogging about the hooker sighting I discussed with you but now maybe I'll have to. We'll see. I have so many tales to tell from the last trip, it will certainly be a while before I get to it if I do....and I dunno if I should do my next posts in "per day" sizes or break them up into "Josie-approved sizes" which would mean dragging out a days worth of stories over several posts. Decisions, decisions.

    2. Woody: Yuck! "Vaginal mucus"?

  4. Josie, this subject is very important. I appreciate that Rob brought this to my attention direct from the poker tables in Vegas. Interestingly, I just did a Google search for:
    vaginal mucus prudence
    Believe it or not, Rob's blog is the first selection! Even Google finds that subject "relevant". So does Woody. Thank you Prudence for talking dirty at the poker table, and thank you Rob for reporting on the incident. Sorry (and Oy vey...!) Woody

    1. OK, I'm staying out of the great "vaginal mucous” debate.

      But thanks for the tip on google search. Of course who outside of a reader of this blog would know to add "Prudence" to a search for vaginal mucous?
