Internal Office Memo 1. Reminder: no perspiring is allowed, even when when the air conditioning is turned off. 2. Charles in engineering: My administrative assistant informs me that your wife handles breakups poorly; also, she has a rotten curveball. I'm docking your salary to cover the cost of replacing his china, and, obviously, the sex-for-stock exchange is off. Talk to me again when you're married to someone with more backbone. 3. Materials: I am nearly two-thirds of the way through this beverage, and the straw has not yet collapsed. What happened to Quality Control? 4. I.T. Group, in Re: happy walkman-carrying enviro-commuters vs. annoying automotive-bound cellular interference. Keep up the good work. I'm still waiting, though, for those docs on the ultraviolent spectrum. 5. Reminder to Crisis Support staff: Terrorism is inherently suspicious. Why are we paying for the tap into U.S.G.S. but not seeing more "natural" disasters? Get with the program. 6. Crisis Support: also, Guam -- survivors? 7. Media team: While the beta for "Name that Drunk!" was promising, underground copies of "You Don't Know Crack!" are wiping the market with it. Unless you can pull off the direct tabloid tie-in, with acceptable kickbacks, no go. 8. We're relying entirely too much on old favorites, Ireland, the Middle East, &c, and neglecting emerging markets. Diversify, people; the last thing we want is an outbreak of global civility. Warm, and I do mean warm, regards Mento the Malfeasant COO, L.Y.a.H.F., Inc. a subsidiary of HELLCO
