M\"ooh\" \"ooh\" ning. .<\/em> p.s.<\/strong> Moonwhile, if you have an opinion on the propriety of showing a little cleavage at a work dinner, drop by and opine at <\/font>Scott Greenfield’s Simple Justice<\/em> \u2014 see \u201cDecolletage or Disaster?<\/a>\u201d (May 10, 2008), which discusses the Wall Street Journal<\/em> column \u201cRisky Business: Decolletage At a Work Dinner<\/a>\u201d (WSJ<\/em>, by Christina Binkley, May 8, 2008). The f\/k\/a<\/em> Gang is showing its age this afternoon: preferring napping than musing over cleavage. Kinda scary. Back in 2005, we did wonder about “too much disclosure?<\/a>” in a posting featuring Erin Brockovich. <\/font><\/p>\n
