Of pudding and pink slips [Reuters] It seems a guy in the U.K. was a little too hasty with the pudding. The queen gives all her staff a pudding for Christmas -- and we're not talking about the instant stuff in a box that Bill Cosby used to shill; we're talking nice English pudding from a fancy food store. When Ben Church, a property administrator at Buckingham Palace, got his royal pudding, he put it on eBay's auction block for about 15 pounds more than what Her Majesty paid for it. Bad move -- Ben got the boot. Ben better be glad he didn't do this 400 years ago -- he could have lost his head instead of his job.   Contact Us Sales For sales inquiries, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Editorial For feedback about any of our articles or to send us your article ideas, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Free E-Newsletters!
