It's been nice knowing you.........
I recieved this email this morning...I guess I'm losing my job
*********************
As a result of the amounts currently budgeted for department areas, we are forced to cut down on the size or our workforce and reduce the number of personnel. Under this plan, older employees will be asked to go on to early retirement, thus permitting the retention of younger employees who represent our future. Therefore, a program to phase out our older personnel by the end of the current fiscal year, via
retirement, will be placed into effect immediately.
This program will be known as SLAP (Sever Late-Aged Personnel). Employees who are SLAPPED will be given the opportunity to look for jobs outside the company. SLAPPED employees can request a review of their employment records before actual retirement takes place. This phase of the program is called SCREW (Survey of Capabilities of Retiring Early Workers).
All employees who have been SLAPPED or SCREWED may file an appeal with
upper management. This is called SHAFT (Study by Higher Authority Following Termination). Under the terms of the new policy, an employee may be SLAPPED once, SCREWED twice, but may be SHAFTED as many times as the company deems appropriate.
If an employee follows the above procedures, he or she will be entitled to get HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel's Early Severance) or CLAP (Combined Lump-sum Assistance Payment), unless he or she already has AIDS (Additional Income from Dependents or Spouse). As HERPES or CLAP are considered benefit plans, any employee who has received HERPES or CLAP will no longer be SLAPPED or SCREWED by the company.
Management wishes to assure the younger employees who remain on board that the company will continue its policy of training employees through our Special High Intensity Training (****). This company takes pride in the amount of **** our employees receive. We have given our employees more **** than any company in this area. If any employee feels they do not receive enough **** on the job, see your immediate supervisor. Your supervisor is specially trained to make sure you receive all the **** that you can stand.
Thank you,
The Management

We're revolting because we don't wash enough (this is because we're too busy rioting and causing damage in foreign countries to be bothered with such trifles as personal hygiene)

We can always tell when a group of pommie backpackers arrive.
1. There is a ring around Bondi beach.
2. The consumption of sherry goes up.
3. It sounds like a 747 landing down the Backpackers hostel.
Of course aussies are at the height of their manners whilest overseas

Phantomd reached immortality while driving a van around Europe, the rather catching slogan painted in black paint on the side of it was "Aussie Beer Drinking and Muff Diving Ltd" Now there's a guy you can take anywhere.
