For those of you who know me, my humor can range on the sarcastic side with a dash of “blue” and a side order of “black/dark”. Fortunately, the group I work with now all have the same sense of humor. Below is a photo of an Easter bunny brought in by a coworker to share his candy. Of course, it’s an eviscerated bunny, complete with incision wounds and dead eyes. You reach into his entrails for a nice Kit Kat or other chocolate. Mmm, this bunny gave his life so we could have a chocolate high.

Besides having that scary, guttural-sounding language, there’s just something about the spoken and written German language that invokes fear in others. Whether deserved or not, if you want to invoke fear in others, simply play German audio clips or show pictures of Germans. In the interest of full disclosure, I took German my freshman year in high school and had intended to take it all 4 years. Unfortunately, the teacher quit after the first semester, her second semester replacement also left and they dropped German after that year. I got “stuck” taking Latin, which I chose over Spanish because "who would want to learn Spanish?" Wow, did I not foresee the future or what?!
Anyway, take a look at the default photo of our company’s website for the U.S., U.K. and Australia. It’s a feminine woman, albeit one with something slightly odd about her that I can’t place. Regardless, it’s a semi-pleasing attractive face.
