> I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party

room
> at the Grill House.

>
> There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We’ll have a
> small band playing traditional carols…feel free to sing along.
>
>
> And don’t be surprised if our CEO 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!
>
> Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!
>
> Merry Christmas to you and your family.

which

However,

>
> The same policy applies to any other employees who are not
> Christians or those still celebrating Reconciliation Day.
> There will be no Christmas tree present. No Christmas carols
> sung.
>
> We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy
> now?

> Happy Holidays to you and your family.

the

little

> Meanwhile, I’ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to

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

be

> To the person asking permission to cross dress, no

> We will have booster seats for short people.

> Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet.

> There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the
