A man in Britain who made a politically incorrect joke at work has committed suicide. The man he made the joke to was not offended, but another co-worker overheard him, and reported him to management. The unfortunate fellow was suspended pending an investigation, and he shot himself rather than face the loss of his job.In other news, a man in Greece has sued the Lindahls dairy in Jönköping, Sweden, because it used a photo of his face for the label of Turkish yoghurt product without his permission. Since he is Greek, and not Turkish, the yoghurt label was doubly offensive.
