Bummy ride :P

My Business HR sent this mail to discourage people from giving birthday bumps to their teammates. However, he mixed up "bumps" with "bums" - the result is open to your imagination ...

Folks,

While I totally encourage all of us to celebrate enthusiastically, I have observed many us getting carried away with bums and I have been part of it too!

However, I hear and also feel this can get very dangerous while we don't realize that. So as a rule we will not have any bums from now, we can choose other means of having fun.

Managers, please discourage this practice whenever you notice it.

With regards

History in the faking ?

Just a random thought ... we all know about the September attack on the WTC by Al-Qaeda. Ever noticed what a significant date it was? 9/11 ... in the American style of mm/dd. Pronounced "nine-eleven", this is the exact number to dial for an emergency in the US ... 911. I was wondering if one of the Al-Qaeda thinktanks had proposed this date! Or if, going off on a "conspiracy theory" tangent, the US itself masterminded the whole thing right down to this detail. I won't belabour the political/economic reasons behind why the US would do that, but come to think of it, this would literally be akin to manufacturing history. I mean, of course they knew it would be a historic event, so why not choose a date to make it all the more mnemonic? Knowing what all Uncle Sam is capable of, I shudder to think: what if this were true? Preposterous? You can never be too sure.

Yenjoy.
