Around the coffee pot This forum is for any topic that you would normally talk about at the office "around the coffee pot". Jokes, tall tales, and true stories are welcome as long as they are clean and in good taste. I only ask that you steer away from topics on religion or politics. Go ahead and pull up a chair and pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation.

I saw the released specs and yes, you can water ski behind it. But I bet they will not let anyone photograph them doing it!

Using tons of steel from ground zero on 9-11 to make part of it, has to put it in a very special class by itself.
