Seriously, I don't have the wherewithal right now to deal with this.

Oh dear.


Reminds of an incident many, many years ago..... when I was still in grad school. One afternoon things were going badly in the lab, so me and some others thought @!$@ it! And went to the pub.

Hours - and many beers - later we stopped off at the office on our way home from the pub. While someone was checking their e-mail they noticed that the group IT person had left herself logged on...... what with all the beer 'n stuff we thought it would be a really good idea to change her e-mail signature to

'I have a fat a$$, and I just love having it spanked'.

I have no excuse! Other than 'drunk and stupid' - plus we kind of assumed we would get an e-mail from her the next day, and then point out the signature to her (and hilarity would ensue).

What we didn't realize...... we had changed the signature on her private e-mail account. We never ever got an e-mail, and in the mist of time, forgot all about the incident.

A few months later she came steaming into the office. Apparently she had e-mailed a prospective employer and he responded 'Your physical attributes and proclivities have no bearing on the recruitment process' and pasted her signature immediately below.

She'd ended up applying for a whole bunch of jobs using that signature.

Obviously at that point the joke had gotten way out of hand..... so we had to play dumb and mutter 'must have been hacked'.

*cough*
