One of my sailors left his shampoo out during his room inspection. I told him that I would be expecting a 500 word autobiography from his bottle of shampoo on my desk by Monday morning.

From the look he gave me, I'm near certain that he would have preferred a more traditional sort of punishment.

	I can be quite cruel. But then again, I run a lab, they should know how to find peer reviewed scholarly sources. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I would hope so. It sounds as though a post-secondary degree is the very minimum requirement of your job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not sure if they were more offended by my stating specifically that the essay was to be to explain why they were wrong or that I could actually get away with doing so. But yes, a post-secondary degree is a minimum for what we do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What would you have done if they had found peer reviewed studies that had backed up their position? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd question their sources. Especially since usually the inane comments are trying to rewrite history. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahh, those kind of comments. I hope you have no flat-earthers on your staff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think I would fire them if that were the case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would hope so. I realize I am making assumptions, but I assume you work in the sciences? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You would be correct. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	In that case, I suppose anyone who came into the room being a flat-earther would most certainly have chosen the wrong profession. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They really would have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm lucky to say I've yet to encounter any who hold such views in my line of work yet either, though I'm sure if I were to I would insist on them navigating by starlight without taking the curvature of the earth into account while doing their calculations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucky you. But that sounds like an appropriate punishment if they tried that. (Reply to this) (Parent)
