Frankly, if you can't give and take the piss, you wouldn't last five minutes in a British workplace.

We don't take ourselves too seriously, and find people who do take themselves seriously worthy of some extra piss taking to bring them down a peg.

(Oh, and rm -rf'ing your HD *would* land you in very serious legal trouble. It is a criminal act under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. And rightly so.)

We actually have free speech in the US but we don't allow people to freely abuse us and will walk.
