Barack Obama's inauguration is in less than a week, and everyone wants a piece. In fact, scalpers are trying to sell tickets at $500 a pop. That's great. (Well, not the scalper part. I wouldn't buy tickets from a scalper--it just seems not cool. Unless they could get me tickets ...

So, today I was perusing the Internet (I wasn't avoiding work, it was for research, I swear!), and I stumbled upon a the Workplace Prof Blog, which had an interesting entry about euphemisms companies use to let people know they've been laid off. They decided the winning euphemism was ...
