I agree but I did want to point out that I spend the majority of my time either at work or sleeping (not at the same time). Some of the best friends I have in life I've met at work. I think it's important to be able to have personal relationships with people you spend so much time with. That said, understanding who else is in earshot of your "that's what she said" joke is important.
I also feel like this conversation is potentially on it's way to hitting a slippery slope. You can be professional, friendly, funny and even a little blue at times (in appropriate company) at work without it constituting a threat to another person's sensibilities.
