Prepositional-Proposition Theorem

In the case where the prepositional phrase “in bed” is added to the end of a fortune cookie saying, the entire phrase will always makes sense and could potentially make you more appealing to your date.
In an attempt to captivate and entice Jill, Matt applied the Prepositional-Proposition Theorem to his fortune cookie saying and announced “Your talents will be recognized and you will be rewarded...in bed.” Unfortunately, his date Jill was not impressed.

Constrain Proportions

The application or employment of a process or feature by which an artist will ensure both the ratio AND perspective of an image remain relative to that of the original image. Failure to "constrain proportions" has resulted in many innocent men being "duped" on internet dating sites (and the like), sustaining an eternal loss of essential "crop points."
TA:"I'm tryin to photoshop that sikk pic you got of me killin' a keg stand at the Rutgers party, Nig." "Everytime I resample, I end up lookin like Nicole Richie doin' a headstand on a Heineken keg can."

RA:"You need to constrain proportions"

promotions

What results when pornography is posted somewhere, often a message board, that is purportedly worksafe (e.g., The New York Times homepage).

Many might think that the appearance of such material on a workplace monitor would lead to firings or at least a stern talking-to. But in one of life's little mysteries, 4chan's /v/ discovered that most employees are actually promoted instead, perhaps in approval for their viewing such interesting internet content.
Poster One: I know this is a tech website, but I had to share these great photos of Jenna Jameson.
Poster Two: I just got promoted!

Ego/Penis Size Inverse Proportion Theory

The theory related to Mark Russell that states "the smaller his penis is, the larger his ego gets."
Mark's penis is 4 inches long when erect, therefore he behaves as if it is double the length and girth.

Promotion demotion

When the boss needs somebody to do a bullshit job such as a task force or any form of employee committee, but doesn't actually have a real charter for it. Since he can't staff it fulltime, he insists being asked is an honor and volunteers you to work after hours and weekends. The task is usually designated a "special project" with all kinds of BS hoopla. It usually involves no additional pay and little recognition. WTF?!
“Hey Shawn. Did you hear Rachel just received a promotion demotion from her corporate office today? The dumb bitch was so excited she didn’t realize all it meant was more work and zero compensation.”
