So one guy abuses the system and that makes it ok in your eyes for everyone to go out and cheat their company. You sound like a little kid, "mommy everyone else is doing it, why should I be good!" NM

a fish rots from the head down Well, it just ain't true!! I've been assured by my various biologist friends that the first thing that starts to disintegrate in a fish is the brain," he says. Not according to David Groman, a fish pathologist at Atlantic Veterinary College, which is part of the University of Prince Edward Island, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Groman may not be the Quincy of fish ( he's not a forensic fish pathologist ), but he does make it his business to know how and why fish die. Which means that he knows how and why fish rot. Groman found time between his fish autopsies to comment on the rotting-fish metaphor. "I don't know where that proverb comes from," says Gromon. "But it's a poor metaphor. And, I must say, it's biologically incorrect. When a fish rots, the organs in the gut go first. If you can't tell that a fish is rotting by the smell of it, you'll sure know when you cut it open and everything pours out -- when all the internal tissue loses its integrity and turns into liquid." Time for a GUT CHECK!
