So, You Think You're The Next Conan O'Brien?

Do your co-workers consider you the jokester of the office? Whether trying to lighten the air, make people laugh or seek revenge, office pranksters will always plot their practical jokes. Light-hearted banter and joking in the office is helpful for keeping stress low and spirits high. Unfortunately, crude humor can sneak up and morph into inappropriate and offensive
joke-telling over time. These antics may seem innocent and somewhat childish, but not necessarily to some of your co-workers who may consider your jokes a form of harrassment. Most supervisors are well-schooled on the ins and outs of traditional harassment--what it is, how to prevent it, and what to do if it occurs. So, know when to draw the line...as most comics would say "know your audience"...if what you're going to say seems off color -it probably is. Your next captive audience may be Human Resources.
