Funny since there's been recent discussion about Who related material at
work, I thought I would share this.
I work at the Air Force Academy as an outside IT consultant, and I add
quotes to my email signature. Of course my "quote" is 99 times out of 100,
a Pete lyric. For example, one of the recent quotes I had attached to
emails was - "The simple things you see are all complicated..." Usually, I
get positive responses from people reading emails from me. HOWEVER...
Today, I was talking to my corporate headquarters and my boss gave me a word
of "advice" instructing me to remove the quotes from my emails. Apparently,
some pencil pusher at corporate got a forewarded email from me and took
offense to my latest "quote". The offending quote was taken from Won't Get
Fooled Again. I had it as written -
"There's nothing in the streets that looks any different to me. And the
slogans are replaced by the by. And the parting on the left is now a
parting on the right and the beards of all grow longer overnight... I get
on my knees and pray we won't get fooled again."
I was told that it was inappropriate to have RADICAL salutations in my
emails. Can you believe that? Maybe I ought to lay off the 2 Live Crew
lyrics I was saving, huh? Oh well, just when you thought corporate America
was getting a little more open minded... Thought you might enjoy that. Be
well and good.
