... so, what's the proper protocol for explaining to your co-workers that an image they're laughing their heads off over is not "an example of why you should never fart in a wetsuit" but is, instead, an "erotic" picture of someone in a rubber suit who has an inflation fetish?

(image here. Work-safe unless the person observing it realises what it actually is, in which case you may have to explain yourself. I suggest an innocent look and "This is why you should never fart in a wetsuit!")

I think "that's an erotic picture of someone in a rubber suit who has an inflation fetish, dumbass" should do it.

The proper protocol at that point is to not tell them.

If you really must, I imagine expressing subtle and polite disbelief about the odds of such a picture being taken by accident or the volume of gas released might do it.

(Sorry, was reading Miss Manners this morning. [livejournal.com profile] thetallman is having a kind of neat discussion on game/character set-up and etiquette, BTW.)

They know it's a set piece. They just think it's done deliberately for a laugh.

I stand by my first statement, then.

Am now reminded of Miss Manners'
"Can you tell me a tactful way to let my friend know she looks fat?"
"Can you tell Miss Manners a tactful reason for wanting to do so?"
excahgne, and am in a good mood because of it. I go now to lunch.

People who do the inflation thing always make me think of bad Olympics mascots.
