Rubber ceiling
This article appears to be an uncommon neologism at best, and nonsense or a hoax at worst. Googling does not show any sign of this usage, although it does, for example, mention "rubber ceiling" in the sense of a [literal] ceiling made of rubber, or a career obstacle in the path of balloon artists. Indeed, a Google search for "rubber.ceiling handicapped" shows no usage other than that of a literal ceiling made of rubber (for safety), and copies of this article, or links to it in other articles. As a relative of someone who is severely mentally handicapped, this seems like a poor subject for a joke. The mentally handicapped have problems greater than "unofficial barrier[s] to [...] upper management or other prominent position[s]". DELETE -- The Anome 23:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Seems an unverifiable neologism/joke; will reconsider if evidence to the contrary is presented. -Colin Kimbrell 18:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
