Giggle? Cry? Resort to Chocolate?

One of our managers here just sent out an email with the words: "THAT’S A FREE HALF DAY MY LITTLE MUNCHKIN’S!!!!"

Point the first - Dumbest concept ever for a fundraiser. Put into teams grouped by Wizard of Oz Characters. Can't tell if it's a step up from the "Yellow Brick Road" concept from last year, or just a re-tread.

Point the second - He's actually going with the concept.

Point the third - Munchkins.

Point the fourth - [livejournal.com profile] johnnym77 has a theory that intelligence is inversely proportional to the number of exclamation points used. I agree.

Point the fifth - Munchkins.

Point the sixth - he used an apostrophe in "Munchkins", one of my biggest annoyances in the misuse of the English language

I pointed that out as well while we all just kinda sat back and said, "You have got to be kidding!" It's still better than the little leaflets they hung up on our cube walls. We apparently are supposed to kick ass in the name of the "Lollipop Gild". So, you know, in the name of a sugary coating... I went around and hung up "corrections" over the word, changing it to Guild, for everyone but the moron who wrote it in the first place. He still hasn't noticed.
