This is the Coronado Naval Base just outside San Diego, California.
Am I the only one who finds this just incredibly funny?
Is it inappropriate to be laughing at this? I feel like I should be more appalled than I am.
Thoughts?

I really need to break up with somebody so I can use Phil Larkin’s sonnet the way it was meant to be used.
Love, we must part now: do not let it be
Calamitous and bitter. In the past
There has been too much moonlight and self-pity:
Let us have done with it: for now at last
Never has sun more boldly paced the sky,
Never were hearts more eager to be free,
To kick down worlds, lash forests; you and I
No longer hold them; we are husks, that see
The grain going forward to a different use.
There is regret. Always, there is regret.
But it is better that our lives unloose,
As two tall ships, wind-mastered, wet with light,
Break from an estuary with their courses set,
And waving part, and waving drop from sight.
So what constitutes professionalism at work? Proper attire? Proper language? How about name calling? Is there a big fat yellow line drawn between joking around in the office and being unprofessional? I was caught in the debate recently at work. My team is a fun team and we joke around a lot. We “diss” each other and call each other “stupid” and “loser” all the time. But one person in the team felt that name calling is unprofessional and snapped at me once or twice for it. Should we stop joking around because one person is uncomfortable with it? Or is it just a personal issue for him?
