101 Dumbest Moments:

Instead of doing a “Freaky Friday” post, I have a list of the 100 dumbest moments in business for a little Friday afternoon reading. There is some really, really good stuff on the list…and yes, SCO makes the list. Here is one of my personal favorites:

Dairy Queen franchisee W.A. Enterprises is docked $700,000 by a jury in Richmond, Va., after DQ employee Ayman Ahmed Hasaballa allegedly slides into a booth next to a female customer, pulls down her sweater, bites her breast, and says, "I am like Dracula." The jury holds the company responsible because it didn't fire Hasaballa six months earlier after he allegedly attacked a female co-worker.
