>I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place
on
>December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill
>House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small
>band playing traditional carols .... please feel free to sing along. And
>don't be surprised if the MD shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas
>tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done
>at
>that time; however, no gift should be over £10.00 to make the giving of
>gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees!
>The
>MD will make a special announcement at the Party. Merry Christmas to you
and
>your Family.

>In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.
We
>recognise that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides
with
>Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we're
>calling it our "Holiday Party". The same policy applies to any other
>employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or
>Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your
>enjoyment.Happy now? Happy Holidays to you and your family.

>Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous
>requesting a non-drinking table ... you didn't sign your name. I'm happy
to
>accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA
>Only"; you wouldn't be anonymous anymore!!!!!How am I supposed to handle
>this?Somebody? Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed
now
>since the Union Officials feel that £10.00 is too much money and
Management
>believe £10.00 is a little cheap.NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

>What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the
>Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during
>daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a
>luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslin employees'
>beliefs, perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until
>the
>end of the party - or else package everything up for you to take home in a
>little foil doggy bag. Will that work? Meanwhile, I've arranged for
members
>of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant
>women will get the table closest to the toilets. Gays are allowed to sit
>with each other, Lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have
>their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men's
>table too. To the person asking permission to cross dress - no cross
>dressing allowed. We will have booster seats for short people. Low fat
food
>will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in
>the food we suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food
>first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the restaurant
>cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts. Sorrry!Did I miss anything ?!?!?!?!

>Vegetarian pricks I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep this
>party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit
quietly
>at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put
it,
>and you'll get your f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you
>know tomatoes have feelings too. They scream when you
>slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW !! I
>hope
>you all have a rotten holiday,The {bleep} from HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
