15 Stupidest Ways to Lose Your Job
Zac Frank and Tania Khadder
BONUS: You’re No Dumbledore
This time, the foolishness lies with the employer. But it was just too good a story to leave off our list.
The location was Land O’ Lakes, Florida 2008, not Salem, Massachusetts 1692, but a substitute teacher was fired for witchcraft. Jim Piculas, the teacher in question, performed a 30-second magic trick in front of a middle school class where he made a toothpick disappear. Later that day he got a call from the substitute teacher coordinator who told him he could not take any more assignments. “Why?” he asked. For being suspected of “wizardry.”
Moral of the Story
Leave your wand at home. Apparently, witchcraft is still a scourge on local youth.

Ellygrl,
Not just in South Africa, but here too ......you will not go and tell your boss what you really thing about he/or her....not if you love and want to keep your job. They will not fire you for what you said, leaving room for you to sue them, but, nobody is perfect, so sooner or later you will make a mistake and off you go.

Leave Bill O'Reilly alone. He doesn't unleash a string of expletives on T.V...never has...and I've watched him for years. Liberals never tire of putting someone down or ruining reputations...gesh, you liberals need a life. Try nursing!
