Mission Critical
The following is a reproduction of a real email thread that occurred earlier today within a corporate office environment. Names have been removed to protect any possible confidentiality considerations.
Although this is a true story, it is filed under “Jokes” for what will become obvious reasons.
From: [Office Manager]
To: Office distribution list
Subject: DrinksTeam ? We are currently in the process of evaluating our drink vendor to ensure that we are receiving top-notch service and completive pricing. Over the next couple of weeks, you will most likely see samples of different coffees; don?t be alarmed we?re not taking away Starbucks.
Feel free to sample the coffee and provide me with any feedback you have.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you,
[Office Manager]
A reply was issued shortly thereafter, by an employee who is attached to that office but works out of his home:

Subject: Re: Drinks
Importance: *HIGH*I will need samples of this coffee forwarded to my house. It is of the highest level of importance that I participate in this coffee tasting process, as the future of the company and perhaps the global work force at large, weighs in the balance.
Please use the highest level of shipping and posting to ensure freshness.
Thanks you!

Being insulted by a person who can’t spell is like being mugged by someone wielding a nerf bat.

Note the name of the site: PROCRASTINATORS.org. Stupid things are quite welcome here, so long as they are stupid and amusing, such as the above coffee joke, and not stupid and insulting, like the above insult.
Anyway…true example of an oppurtunist at work! (Did I spell that right? o.0)
