Jess, I had a similar experience. The wife of a friend asked about the source of the headlight I had on the GL1200 that I had put back on the road, her husband had a b'day coming up. I told her the name of the company and what I thought was the site name. Short time later I got a call from a very upset lady, telling me she didn't like my joke and I was a sick man and on and on. What...? Had no idea what she was talking about so went looking myself. Turns out just the company name .com came up with a number of pictures of headlights alright....female type. I found out you had to add "Inc" after the name then .com, quite a lesson for me.  Grin  I called her back and explained, we got a good laugh over it but I think she always looked at me with a jaundiced eye from then on.  Wink

The next best story I have on work computer porn, was that one of our 4-5 IT guys, that was one of the trainers/fixers, was apparently nuts about porn.  It was common knowledge he got caught a number of times for it, but only disciplined, never fired.  We really needed all those guys all the time, but no one knew how he kept his job.

He also rode a Harley to work everyday (cheapest parking in town).  Us smokers had to stand out in front of the building to do so (and many of us rode bikes, if not to work), and we'd stand over by motorcycle parking, just to check out what was parked there that day.  

One day, a very attractive lady rode up on her bike, backed down on the curb, got off, fed the meter and left, and we all agreed she was a 10. Then I saw our IT guy staring closely at her seat, and that it had a very noticeable line of persipirtion/condensation right in the middle.  So I yelled out, hey Bob, go ahead and lick it, everyone knows you're the biggest perv at the Board. Three guys spit their coffee on sidewalk, and we LOAO on that one.  He just smiled.  Busted  Evil

(apologies to our female members;  who know men are often just overgrown boys)

We called our workplace.... The Penitentiary.

Jess, thankfully we were tied to the BLM cloud.  Which sort of limited the access to certain sites.  Being I was the only one for our remote site (town of 15-18K) and far from the main office,  I was the one hat helped all my 60 plus users to get on line (had to setup passwords) and introduce them to the loaded packages (word/Excel/etc).  It was a fun couple of weeks.   Then all settled down.  The users were required to change passwords every month at the first.  That was also fun as several always screwed that up.  Those folks still had the issues of changing passwords 8 years the installation, when I retired. 

The BLM was under court order to have a secure network due to issues with oil/gas leases on Indian reservations.   So it was, may even still a pretty secure network.
