Each employee had to come up with a column name upon being hired and columns are shared among the papers if relevant. One of the new employees chose Tossed Salad as his name and wrote a column his first week. The column ran in several sister papers before it got to my office and someone caught it. I never heard of anyone writing in to complain, but ugh! The guy was young, so I'm not sure if he was totally unprofessional or just more pure than my friends and I. I'm hoping it was the latter.
