Afternoon Oddball:

This woman learned the hard way - you can't collect worker's comp for a sex-related injury. A public servant in Australia suffered a nose injury and damaged teeth while she getting down and dirty on a work trip back in 2007, so she thought she'd be able to collect a payout.

And, let's face it, that would've made things awkward… Of course if she had planned to sleep with her boss…who knows.
