To: All Employees
From: Management
Subject: Office conduct during the Christmas season
Effective immediately, employees should keep in mind the following guidelines in
compliance with FROLIC (the Federal Revelry Office and Leisure Industry
Council).
- Running aluminum foil through the paper shredder to make tinsel is discouraged.
- Playing Jingle Bells on the push-button phone is forbidden (it runs up an incredible long distance bill).
- Work requests are not to be filed under "Bah humbug."
- Company cars are not to be used to go over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house.
- All fruitcake is to be eaten BEFORE July 25.
- Eggnog will NOT be dispensed in vending machines.
In spite of all this, the staff is encouraged to have a Happy Holiday.

Company Christmas parties back in the early 70’s were wild.
ReplyDeleteSo I've heard. I hadn't entered the full time work force yet.
DeleteAluminum foil through the paper shredder to make tinsel sounds like a great idea. Wish I knew this when I was still in the working world. Would definitely have tried it.
ReplyDeleteI kind of want to try it, but don't want to ruin my shredder :-)

ReplyDeleteAfter July 25th, fruitcake could be considered a weapon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would be stale enough to cause damage if thrown.
DeleteI think everyone will do the opposite of what it says🌲⛄

ReplyDeleteI found this joke in the middle of the summer, and made a note to save it for the appropriate time.
