It was a normal Monday morning. I got to work 10 minutes late, had a cup of coffee, checked email, and began easing into things.

First task of the day: Have Brian process my form by COB. The use of the abbreviation COB (“close of business”) could be an entirely new article – we won’t go there.

Here’s a quick summary on Brian. Brian is one of those guys in the office who is never involved in meetings, just handles the procedural and paperwork functions. His cubicle is in the back corner of the office, with a 5 foot cubicle wall for privacy. No man’s land, hidden from all of the execs and hallway traffic. He works in one of those departments with very low credibility. Everyone always asks the question: What does he do all day?

Back to Monday morning. I needed to drop off a report, so I make the trip to Brian’s desk. Keep in mind, it is not even 9 o’clock. It turns out Brian is away from his desk. This being somewhat of an important document, I decide it’s best to leave it on his chair. I proceed to walk around the cubicle walls and into his cave. As I make the corner, the computer screen takes me by surprise.

Naked chicks everywhere.

I then realize, THIS MAKES SENSE. My office internet isn’t heavily guarded, blocked like China, or Facebook unfriendly. My office Internet is a trip on the Santa Maria, across the Atlantic Ocean to the unblocked waters of any website. Newsweek reports that 25% of all employees who use the internet visit porn sites during the workday. I have 100 people on my floor, which means there are 24 more Brians in my office. Can employees not wait until they get home?

With that story in mind, here is a similar occurrence at a “Live” broadcast during an interview with a banker. Fast forward to the 1 minute mark.

Did you catch that? Here – let me slow it down for you:
