There is a new virus going around, called "work." If you receive
any sort of "work" at all, whether via email, internet or simply
handed to you by a colleague...DO NOT OPEN IT.

This has been circulating around our building for months and those
who have been tempted to open "work" or even look at "work" have
found that their social life is deleted and their brain ceases to
function properly.

If you do encounter "work" via email or are faced with any "work"
at all, then to purge the virus, send an email to your boss with
the words "I've had enough of your crap... I'm off to the pub."
The "work" should automatically be forgotten by your brain. If you
receive "work" in paper- document form, simply lift the document
and drag the "work" to your garbage can. Put on your hat and coat
and skip to the nearest bar with two friends and order three pints
of beer (or rum punch). After repeating this action 14 times, you
will find that "work" will no longer be of any relevance to you
and that "Scooby Doo" was the greatest cartoon ever.
