meaning, can't we ALL agree to forego posting these patently spurious items
that only provoke watercooler-style debates of little or no relevance to
what we're all about here?
PS: any & all re-posting or forwardings should be doublechecked for
authenticity by going to, at a minimum, the snopes site cited below, or
other reliable resources -- I've found that 99.99999% of all forwarded msgs,
like those damned petitions, are bogus -- no surprise -- but many
well-intentioned folks persist in sending along every bleeding-heart or
isn't-it-amazing or similar time- & space-wasting email... my heart [&
wallet] bleeds for many causes, but I haven't found a one via the 'net's
torrent of forwarded crap that deserves attention -- this latest exercise
over the obviously BS-laden sample test was no different.
hmmmph.
and FWIW, my managers ALL lie to me, it's called MANAGEMENT!
I can get 'em to agree to Reality, one on one, offline, outside "the context
of this meeting" and so on, but the sh*t still flows downhill... and we the
employees are the recipients, like it or not. They *must* hold others
responsible,,, since they cannot do the same themselves. it's just turtles,
y'all, all the way down,,,,
