Separating the Wheat From the Chaff

My six month performance review at work is tomorrow. In honor of that momentous event I offer this clip from the British version of The Office. I hope it goes down like this. Gum and all.



As long as we're on the youtube train, you absolutely MUST watch this clip from the sketch comedy show Little Britain. They do a nice job of summing up the following in just two short minutes:
- How the Scottish are perceived by the English (mystical nutjobs)
- How American tourists are perceived by everyone (fat, baseball hat-wearing yanks with impossible dietary requirements)
- The recorder is a seriously overlooked instrument
- Scotland has the most terrible weather of any place anywhere

[Also, if you've ever wondered what my professors are like, this is a pretty close approximation.]
