"What color panties you [sic] have on?" was the question that cost San Francisco District Attorney’s Office victim advocate Jovan Thomas his job on Friday. The overly friendly email query was addressed to Thomas' boss, city District Attorney Brooke Jenkins — along with their entire office.
Not exactly the kind of thing you want to cc to a building full of prosecutors, although Thomas claimed in a follow-up email — this is the kind of office where you've seriously got to stay on top of these email threads — that the message was a prank and meant for a fraternity brother.
“Please know this is not who I am as a person as I carry myself with respect and dignity,” Thomas wrote in the follow-up. “I am sincerely sorry and would never do such a thing on purpose.

LOLOL...an oldie but a VERY goodie.
That’s not the kind of prank you send via government or company email account. It’s the kind of prank you send to a text message group.
“Great tag line. How many people get it?”
I sure didn’t. It sent me searching and found the “Perdicaris Affair.” Barbara Tuchman’s great article about it was informative.
It's exactly the kind of prank you send via company email account if you find an unattended computer that doesn't have the screen locked.
It’s San fransicko. What makes you think the boss is a “her”?
I don’t know, but I think he probably sent it to the wrong group. Thus not “on purpose” (to his office and boss). Sounds like he meant to send it to a school mate. Perhaps he clicked “reply all” to the wrong email, or the software auto-filled the wrong recipient group.
Still not sure why he used email. This is the kind of “locker room humor” that you would send by text, not by email.
No, I do not find it sexual harassment, just incredibly inappropriate in a business setting. Sort of like talking about your bout with food poisoning in graphic detail.
Perhaps along with HomeEc and Shop we need to have a "Social Skills" class in high school.
Maybe I should read the article in full :-)
Are you saying he used someone else’s computer?
Seems rather childish to try to make someone else look like the culprit.
If so, at least he copped to the prank.
He should have claimed someone else used his.
Give him credit for at least pronouncing the ‘t’ in ‘panties’, vs ‘pannies’ as said in some midwestern states.
Ah but what does this Brooke look like is apparently a better question.
I had to think about it for a sec.
The Wind and the Lion
Great movie.
How many answers did he get?????.....
Pink. With a bow is a good answer. Stained with brown isn’t a good answer.
A gentleman who knows a lady well enough to ask the question has no need to ask the question.
Paging Lux Interior…
Great tagline, learned some intriguing history, by article in American Heritage
Well done!
