  • you can't please everyone!...more from the well of e-mail hell

    here's one more piece sent in via e-mail, by Randy, which touches on the delicate planning intricacies of of Holydays and Holidays...

    Company Memo


    FROM:    Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

    TO:         All Employees

    DATE:    October 1, 2008

    RE:       Gala Christmas Party

    I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!  We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along.  And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM.  Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.  This gathering is only for employees!

    Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!

    Merry Christmas to you and your family,

    Patty

    Company Memo


     FROM:    Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

    TO:         All Employees

    DATE:    October 2, 2008

    RE:       Gala Holiday Party

    In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.  We recognize that  Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year.  However, from now on,  we're calling it our "Holiday Party."  The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day.  There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung.  We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.

    Happy now?

    Happy Holidays to you and your family,

    Patty

     Company Memo


    FROM:   Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director


    TO:        All Employees

    DATE:   October 3, 2008

    RE:        Holiday Party


    Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name.  I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that  reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore.  How am I supposed to handle this?

    Somebody?

    And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.

    REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

     Company Memo


     FROM:  Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

    To:        All Employees

    DATE:   October 4, 2008

    RE:        Generic Holiday Party

    What a diverse group we are!  I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours.  There goes the party!  Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs.  Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy.  Will that work?

    Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms.

    Gays are allowed to sit with each other.  Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table.

    Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table.

    To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms.  Sorry.

    We will have booster seats for short people.

    Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet.

    I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food .  The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first.

    There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts. Sorry!


    Did I miss anything?!?!?

    Patty

     Company Memo


    FROM:   Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

    TO:         All F*%^ing Employees

    DATE:    October  5, 2008

    RE:         The F*%^ing Holiday Party

    I've had it with you vegetarian pricks!!!  We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes.  But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too.  They scream when you slice them.  I've heard them scream.  I'm hearing them scream right NOW!

    The rest of you f*%^ing wierdos can kiss my *ss.  I hope you all have a rotten holiday!

    Drive drunk and die,

    The B*tch from H*ll!!!

     Company Memo


    FROM:  Joan Bishop, Acting Human Resources Director

    DATE:   October  6, 2008

    RE:        Patty Lewis and Holiday Party

    I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her.

    In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rdoff with full pay.

    Happy Holidays!

    Joan

    Laurel just sent this from her iPhone, on her way home form work...


    A guy takes his dad to the shopping centre to buy some new shoes (his dad is
    84) and they decide to grab a bite at the food court.

    The guy notices his dad is watching a teenager sitting next to him.  The
    teenager had spiked hair in all different colors:  green , red , orange ,
    and  blue.  The dad keeps staring at him.  The teenager would look and find
    him staring every time.

    When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked:  'What's the
    matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?'

    Knowing his Dad, the guy quickly swallowed his food so that he would not
    choke on the response.   And in classic style the dad, not batting an eye,
    said:   'Got stoned once and screwed a peacock. I was just wondering if you
    were my son.'

  • discretion is the greater part of valor...more from the well of e-mail hell

    laurel sent me this, with the attached preface...


    Michael darling,
     
    You, of course, already know this


    Women will understand this! Men should memorize it!

    Every woman knows that there are days when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his life in his hands! This is a handy guide that should be carried like a driver's license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, co-worker or significant other!

    What's for dinner?


    Can I help you with dinner?


    Where would you like to go for dinner?


    Here, have some wine.


    Are you wearing that?


    You sure look good in brown!


    WOW! Look at you!


    Here, have some wine.


    What are you so worked up about?


    Could we be overreacting?


    Here's my paycheck.


    Here, have some wine.


    Should you be eating that?


    You know, there are a lot of apples left.


    Can I get you a piece of chocolate with that?


    Here, have some wine.


    What did you DO all day?


    I hope you didn't over-do it today.


    I've always loved you in that robe!


    Here, have some wine.



    ***************

    my bandmate John sent this thought provoking and heartwarming piece...

    Ah yes, the power of love. 


    This guy, (Alvaro Alfonso de Miranda Neto), simply referred to as Neto, was married to
     
     
     
    this woman!



     
     
    Here she is again,



     
    And again.



    Her name is Cibele Dorsa.  She is a Brazilian swimsuit and Playboy model. 
     
     
    However, Neto divorced her because he fell in love with
     
    this woman.

     
     
    Those two are very happily married right now.


     
     
    Some people argue that love is blind. 
    This story clearly shows it. 
    It proves that men are capable of real love. 
    Truly seeing the inner beauty inside a person, not basing their decisions solely on looks.
     
    oh, by the way, did i mention that
    the new girl is Athina Onassis. 
    She's worth 2 Billion dollars.

    ***************

    not to be outdone by John, bandmate Randy sent me this, the only one of his submissions i can pass on, without an x-rating...thanks, man...


    It's A Guy Thing....

    do you see the temperature gauge on the manifold, under the air filter?



    do you know what it is for?


     You get 3 guesses & the first 2 don't count







    Yup!...you're absolutely right!







    This has to be the coolest BBQ ever!!




            *************

     today's whole "love" theme continues, with this, from my other bandmate, Dean....

    When love fades...


     
    A  man was sitting on the sofa watching TV when he heard his wife's voice  from the kitchen.

    What  would you like for dinner Love?  Chicken, Beef or Lamb?

    He  said, "I'll have chicken; Thank You."

    Fuck You, she said, you're having  soup.  I was talking to the  cat."

     **************

    this last one is dedicated to my friend Heather, who, like me, worked in the banking industry...something she said yesterday provoked me to include it...


    Fresh from a visit to the dentist, I decided to stop at my bank. Barely able to enunciate, I told the teller, "I'm sorry about not speaking more clearly. I've had Novocaine."

    "You should have used the drive-through," she said.

    "Why?"

    "Everyone who goes through sounds like you," she explained.

    **************

    gotta run some errands, though i feel yuckie today...need to feel better for recording tomorrow...wouldn't want to lay down tracks of all the unique gurgles, snorts and wheezes i'm experiencing... (cue announcer, on 'Where are they now?') "we have previously unheard recordings of Mike Manhoff's abdomen"...lol...have a great day!...peace...animal

  • it's Muppet Monday...wanna see my puppet show?

    ok, yeah, that's probably not a good idea...Laurel says i have to stop asking that question, now that we live across the street from a school...heh...here's a cute and ingenious bit of parody...that, or i'm pretty sure i missed THIS episode...

    ***************

    OH NO, SHE DIDN'T?


    DEAR MADAM,

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT ORDER FROM OUR SEX TOYS SHOP.


    YOU ASKED FOR THE LARGE RED VIBRATOR AS FEATURED ON OUR WALL DISPLAY.


    PLEASE SELECT ANOTHER ITEM BECAUSE THAT IS OUR FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

    ----------

    WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT...EXPECT IT...

    about 30 years ago, a friend of mine went off the deep end, eventually getting herself checked into Reid Mental Hospital...being a little unnerved by the visit, my mind wasn't on my driving, as i sped out of the lot...consequently, i hit a severe pothole, destroying the tail pipe mount, and flattening a tire, at the same time...now, beside myself in anger i start to change the tire, in the little dim light i had from distant street lamps...while trying to loosen a stuck lug nut, i smashed my knuckles into the wheel well, stepping back onto the hubcap, scattering the lug nuts i had placed in it..."oh great, NOW what the f**k do i do?" i roared, not initially noticing a man who had walked up to the car...
     "trouble, friend?", he asked..."uh, yeah, well i lost three of my lugnuts, and i still don't know how i'm gonna fix this!" i said, pointing to my damaged muffler...
     "simple,"the stranger replied..."first use your belt, to strap up the tailpipe...next, put one lug nut on every OTHER lug bolt, and you should be fine, till you reach a service station, if you take it easy"

    just then, a passing truck lit up my good samaritin's face...suddenly, i realized, i saw him INSIDE the hospital, earlier..."a-a-aren't you a patient, a-a-at the...?", i stammered...he smiled and interrupted, "at the nut-house?...uh-huh, been here for years...just slipped out for some smokes"..."but how did you know how to fix my car"...he looked me squarely in the eyes, and said, "look, pal, i'm may be crazy, but i aint f**king stupid!"

    (you may remove the fish hooks from your mouths, now...heh heh)
