Now, one might think that asking people what animal they'd like to ride work would be a silly thing to do, but, as I think you'll discover from watching this video it's anything but. It seems goofy and idiotic in theory, but in practice it just works…

I work by myself at home, so you'd probably assume there wouldn't be much in the way of workplace romances going on around here. And you'd be right, though my coffee cup told me yesterday that he heard my microwave hooked up with my ottoman, but you didn't hear that from me.

Since there is no way known to science to be able to know exactly what happens when a white man and a black man sit down to share a beer, this simulation from The Daily Show may be our closest window into this historically unteachable teachable moment…
