Work Poos

I thought this was funny. It's the text of an e-mail (memo to the crew) my husband was sent at work. He is a computer games programmer.

"As some of you have astutely pointed out, the lone bathroom in our office does not have a fan. Because of this and the fact that we have +35 people, we are having to implement an Olfactory Preservation Program (Otherwise known as a "No Dookie" rule).

What does this entail, you might ask? It's fairly simple: if in the course of using the restroom, you believe you might leave a stench that will offend someone after you leave, please go out and use the public restrooms around the corner from the elevators (go down a floor if it is really bad ;). These restrooms have industrial fans, marble-like tile, almost guaranteed no-waiting and great smelling soap...what more could you ask for?

Follow this simple guideline and everyone will be happy. Fail to do so and I will authorize Marty and Trevor to drag your sorry excuse for a non-house-broken developer out to the public restrooms and give you a swirly so that you can familiarize yourself with the restroom you should have used.

If any of this is unclear to you, please come see me. I will be more than happy to spell this out for you in more explicit terminology. =)

We all thank you for your compliance,

Matt"

My husband was glad about this memo, since the respective loo is right next to his office.
