Smut around the world.

After a few glorious years of working in an office environment, I've encountered a theme - what I'd like to know is, is this theme perpetuated by me, or is it common to all office environments? And what are the reasons for differing levels of the theme with differing geographical positions?

The theme is smut. I've witnessed many levels of smut in my different offices - in the UK, the smut largely centered around ratemypoo.com and finding interesting terms for the male and female genitalia on the internet. In Australia, it seems to be based around actual sex talk, the smuttier the better.

Perhaps it's just my office? Could it be that me and my colleagues are in fact situated in a sexually active wormhole where the universe concentrates all it's excess hormones and pheromones into one space, and between the hours of 9 and 5 we're unknowingly being pumped full of the stuff, causing us to be completely preoccupied with all things smut related? Or perhaps our employer has unwittingly employed a bunch of people who clearly don't get enough bedroom action, or that have tendencies toward nymphomania?

Is this a reflection of the Australian population? With all this excess sunshine, we have so many endorphins that we just don't know what to do with them. And in the UK, as witnessed in my old office, we were desperately trying to find the need, but our bodies just wanted to hibernate and this resulted in focusing on the baser elements of smut; excrement, and childish labelling of genitalia.

Can I assume that Australian workers are hornier than those in the UK? Or is it just that the smut-part of their brains is more active due to the sunshine? Either way, I aim to make the most of my surroundings - colleagues beware; that animal humping your leg is actually me. Throw me a bone.

Trust me it's not just your work place
(seriously - we've worked together - you know how the cookie used to crumble)

I say the more smut talke the better - it seams to have a way of bringing people closer -metaphorically speaking that is! ;-)

Well our office is a den of inequity and innuendo. However that could just be because Tom Mason works here....
