But my grandma is dead

So, what did I learn on Thursday at my Sexual Harassment Training?

To use the, as they put it "grandma filter".

Whenever you are in a situation and you wonder if it is borderline sexual harassment or just "a joke", ask yourself, "Would you say and/or email and/or do that physical gesture to grandma?"

My problem is that my grandma is dead.

I suppose I could incorporate my grandfather into the mix.

i.e. Would I tell my grandfather that his ass looks great in those jeans he's wearing?

Possibly. He doesn't normally dress very sexy but if he were to, I might encourage it.

or for example: Would I send my grandfather an email forward with pictures of half-naked (in the case) women?

Probably. He DID lose my grandma a few years ago and could probably use the inspiration, etc.

And finally: Would I go up to my grandfather, casually rub his neck and shoulders and say "Wow! You're really tense. Maybe you need 'something to help you relax'"?

Ewww. Gross. No way in hell.

Wow. It really does work. Thanks Human Resources, you saved my ass!
