Dear Valued Employee:

Re: Vacation Pay Our records indicate you have not used any vacation time over the past 100 year(s). As I'm sure you are aware, employees are granted 3 weeks of paid leave per year or pay in lieu of time off. One additional week is granted for every 5 years of service. Please either take 9,400 days off work or notify our office and your next pay check will reflect payment of $8,277,432.22 which will include all pay and interest for the past 1,200 months.

Sincerely,

Automated Payroll Processing

Next time you want to recycle a Y2k joke, please put "(Humor)" in the thread title.

Lighten up, No Spam. Paul gets enough grief for his "serious" posts. Let's cut him some slack on the humor (which we all need occasionally).

Andy,

Since I rarely agree with Paul, I'm trying to be nice to him on a point where I don't disagree. But you're right, now that I think about it; most of his posts are pretty funny...

-- Nabi Davidson (nabi7@yahoo.com), February 17, 1999.



Andy: LOL

Paul: Yes, We're laughing at you, not with you.
