I can't speak for the company, but several years ago there was a fuss 
about it as offensive. I don't know the what happened since then history 
wise. It used to be there was a calendar hanging in nearly every shop 
that had anything to do with construction and maintenance. Today in the 
USA it is not thought of being good taste to display one in particular 
in areas accesible to any gender. But I believe the RIdgid calendars are 
tastefully done, and not in the same class as other modern day calendars 
(playboy, hustler, etc.). My wife has some years back stopped by the 
Ridgid plant and picked calendars for me to take to work. :)   And I 
guess this is getting away from the [EE] thread.
