Failing to buy into his claim that he was researching a story for Slashnot about playboy.com, she announced a zero tolerance policy for bullshit and relegated him to the couch for an undisclosed period. Matthew considered appealing to a higher court, but decided to settle after counsel predicted a low probability of the court buying the story, either, citing as “contemptable and frankly, not very funny” the staffer’s attempt at a cover up by actually posting a satirical piece about the web site in question.

Hey, hun, my hubby's leaving Saturday on a run to Cleveland. There isn't any way you'd take up more room than he does, so you can have his portion of the bed. I just don't think a nice, professional journalist like you should have to endure the indignity of a couch. Besides, I have better stuff than Playboy in my cache.
