Shark Tank: And that answers a lot of questions right there

This big utility company has an, um, diverse IT support group, and it's getting a new manager, says a pilot fish on the scene.
"The new guy has a reputation for being a corporate man who does things by the book," fish says. "At our first group get-together to meet the new boss, we go though the normal intros: 'how I work, what I expect,' yada yada."
Then the boss opens the floor to questions. And one of the more, um, astute IT employees has one.
Why can't I access Web sites that have to do with marijuana using my office PC? he asks.
Boss: Marijuana?
Astute guy: I'm doing research.
Boss: You do know the corporate policy regarding Internet use.
Astute guy: Of course.
Reports fish, "The new boss just shakes his head and asks our researcher to see him in his office after the meeting."
