Sexual harassment in the workplace

This weekend I am mostly doing an editing job for the Ministry of Certain Things. They sent me a PDF of their 40-page Code of Conduct, according to which I must not bully or sexually harass any of my staff, use inappropriate language or touch them inappropriately.

Chance would be a fine thing. I work home alone.

So here is Frank Zappa, recorded live in 1981, with “Sexual Harassment in the Workplace”. Released with wild optimism as a single in 1988, it is basically a guitar solo, performed on a Fender Stratocaster that used to belong to Jimi Hendrix. Nominative determinism: the drummer is called Chad Wackerman.
