Gold!

Though I like non-verbal communication with the people I work with. Like the tee-shirt with the text "NO!" in bold letters on the back (I sit with my back to the door) or the one with "BOFH" on the back (I'm a sysadmin). For some reason people still ask what BOFH stands for, even though I never give them a straight answer, and something's not working when they get back to their desks :p

Nice discussion:)
