Now that women are demanding much better behavior by men, a few of the things (some have already been said) I have learned, over the many years, regarding behavior in the workplace are:
1. Never mix business with pleasure
2. If there is even the smallest thing in the back of your head, that says "Don't say it", then say nothing...especially when you are trying to be funny or witty.
3. One of the things I observed, early in my career, was you have to be a different person in the workplace than you are at home.
4. Discretion is the better part of valor.
5. You can sometimes get away with things, as long as you make sure your heart is in the right place.
6. Exercise good gentlemanly behavior.
7. Sarcasm is the lowest type of humour
