Call for Election TRUCE

[akdiver 3]

AK...I figure by 11pm EST someone will have conceded...and then we'll all be itching to post our opinions.

Hell, that figures. Polls are still open here. Just more evidence that Alaska's vote doesn't matter, and it should secede and be left to its own devices.

I was trying to be fair...a bit of humor...bashing each side equally...ya know?

I know this may be hard to believe, but there are more than just "two sides" in this election. Stop disrespecting 3rd party candidates.

[Ban Hammer 13,644]

is it just me, or are you a bit free with the labels?

if you really wanted a truce, you'd not throw out labels.

Sorry Charles...I'm a bit new to this whole peaceful thing.

Let me try again.....

I love you Charles...I'd have your baby if I was a woman...but since I can't, can we have a truce?

sorry, i'm married. and besides that, steven has dibs on me if i ever turn to the dark side.

while i commend your attempt at peace, my point remains that it's counterproductive to ask for peace yet include insulting labels at the same time.

You're another eternal optimist, aren't you?

Yeah...you're right...I should know better.

This will be death match 2008. A fight to the finish. Sudden death overtime. The last man standing...kind of thing.

The truce also gives all of us a chance to watch the returns without wondering if we're missing any spirited debates on VJ.

I agree with that.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

They don't even realize they do it. Its always the other "side" who's guilty of offense.

11 pm EST is too early for Hawaii and Alaska.

You're absolutely right Charles. Sorry that my attempt at equally insulting both sides would be accepted as humor.

VW, I apologize for not being considerate to HI and AK.

I yield to you to suggest an appropriate ending time.

[akdiver 3]

It would have been fine, had you only included all of the 3rd party candidates.

Your attempt at reconciliation for your misdeeds reminds me of an old joke....

Christmas Party

December 1...To All Employees

I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will be held

on December 23rd at Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue. There will be lots of

spiked eggnog and a small band will play traditional carols...feel free

to sing-along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as

Santa Claus to light the Christmas tree.

Exchanging gifts among employees can be done at this time. Please

remember to keep gifts to the agreed $10 limit.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 2...To All Employees

In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish

employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday and

often coincides with Christmas (although not this year). However, from

now on we're calling this party our Holiday Party. The same policy also

applies to employees who are celebrating Kwanzaa at this time. There

will be no tree or Christmas carols sung.

Happy holidays to you and yours.

Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 3...To All Employees

Regarding the anonymous note I received from a member of Alcoholics

Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, I'm happy to accommodate

your request but please remember that if I put a sign on the table that

reads "AA Only" you won't be anonymous any more.

In addition, we'll no longer be having a gift exchange because union

members feel that $10 is too much money.

Patti Lewis, Human Resources Director

------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 7...To All Employees

I have arranged for members of Overeaters Anonymous to sit farthest

away from the dessert table and for pregnant members to sit closest to

the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not

have to sit with gays; each group will have its own table. And, yes,

there will be a flower arrangement for the gay men's table.

Happy now?

Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director

------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 9...To All Employees

People! People! Nothing sinister was intended by wanting our CEO to

play Santa Claus. Even if the anagram for "Santa" does happen to be

"Satan." There is no evil connation to our own little "man in a red

suit."

Patti Lewis, Human Resources Director

------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 10...To All Employees

Vegetarians! I've had it with you people. We're holding this party at

Luigi's Open Pit Barbecue whether you like it or not. You can just sit

at the table farthest from the "Grill of Death" as you call it, and

you'll get salad bar only including hydroponics tomatoes. Tomatoes have

feelings too, you know. They scream when you slice them. I can hear

them now. I hope you have a rotten holiday. Drive drunk and die, you

hear me?

The ###### from Hell

------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 14...To All Employees

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery

from her stress-related illness. I'll continue to forward your cards to

her at the sanitarium. In the meantime management has decided to cancel

the Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with

full pay.
