I’m posting this because I think it’s hilarious. It does contain occasional swearing and one or two comments about God that some might find offensive. Ricky Gervais, for those who don’t know, co-wrote the original (UK) version of “The Office” and starred in it as the office manager.

I loved it!!! Making me laugh like that at work is going to get me in trouble!

Is that a beer he has under the podium & sips from?
A tidbit from his Wikipedia entry: “Gervais is an atheist. In an interview given to John Humphrys he said, “Being an atheist makes someone a clearer-thinking, fairer person….They [atheists] are not doing things to be rewarded in heaven; they’re doing things because they’re right, because they live by a moral code.” He also added that, although he doesn’t believe, God (if he exists) would like him.”
