I see your workplace sensitivity and raise it: I had a Buffy the Vampire
Slayer calendar up in my cube. The calendar featured the whole cast, so
some months I had Sarah Michelle Gellar and some months I had a
square-jawed hunk of manhood (or an English dandy). It's a new month, so
I turn the page, and there's a tasteful, fully-clothed shot of Buffy's
approximately 15-year-old sister. Did I want to be the guy who has the
teenage girl up on his wall? Clearly not, so I just stuck with Spike for
an extra month. DB.
