HRB proudly presents another chapter in the saga, “When stupid employees end up on YouTube.”
This chapter is titled, “The professor who used mooning as a debate tactic.”
Officials at Fort Hays State University said Professor Bill Shanahan became angered at a debate team event when the team got low scores from two judges, according to KCTV, Kansas City, MO.
The YouTube video shows Shanahan jumping up and down and ranting. Then he quickly dropped his pants, pulled them back up and continued ranting and swearing. The prof was wearing underwear, so it wasn’t a “full moon.”
Fort Hays provost Larry Gould says even though you see a lot of what happened on the video, the university is conducting a full investigation into the incident and Shanahan’s actions.

I can top this. I once had to have a very frank talk with the president of the company where I worked (my boss) because he was seen by a female employee urinating on the side of the building. He was leaving, realized he had to go to the bathroom, and rather than return to use the restrooms (there were some just inside the front door), he decided to relieve himself on the building in broad daylight in the middle of the day.

To get the full story go to http://www.kake.com or wwww.kwch.com and see local news coverage about him getting fired and the debate program geing suspended at Fort Hays State University. This was the “last straw” to a “colorful professor”!

A common sight in Paris — businessmen in suits urinating in public in broad daylight. I saw several relieving themselves on a wall near the banks of Seine. Maybe they were having a meeting.
