OT: Multi-system virus warning

This came from an OS/2 site (OS/2 so far has had no viruses, but this
one affects it, and will even infect RISC-OS systems!)

***Begin report***

There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by
hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If
you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else
via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private
life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take
two good friends to the nearest bar. Purchase the antidote known as
Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE) or
Bothersome-Employer-Eliminator-Rebooted (BEER). Take the antidote
repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5
friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your Life.

***End report***

batsard, you had me there for a minute.

reminds me of the thing about all staff being required to take Special High
Intensity Training... hmm, that's got to be on the web somewhere...

yep, loads of 'em...


TO: All Employees
From: Management
Subject: Special High Intensity Training

In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from
employees, it will be our policy to keep all employees welltrained through
our progrom of Special High Intensity Training (S.H.I.T.). We are trying to
give employees more S.H.I.T. than anyone else.

If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T. on the job,
please see your manager. You will be immediately placed at the top of the
S.H.I.T. list, and our managers are especially skilled at seeing that you
get all the S.H.I.T. you can handle.

Employees who don't take their S.H.I.T. will be placed in Departmental
Employee Evaluation Programs (D.E.E.P S.H.I.T.). Those who fail to take
D.E.E.P. S.H.I.T. seriously will have to go to Eployee Attitude Training
(E.A.T. S.H.I.T.). Since our managers took S.H.I.T. before they were
promoted, they don't have to do S.H.I.T. anymore, and are all full of
S.H.I.T. already.

If you are full of S.H.I.T., you may be interested in a job training others.
We can add your name to our Basic Understanding Lecture List. (B.U.L.L.
S.H.I.T.).

Those who are full of B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T. will get the S.H.I.T.jobs, and can
apply for promotion to Director Of Intensity Programming (D.I.P. S.H.I.T.).

If you have further questions, please direct them to our Head Of Training,
Special High Intensity Training (H.O.T.S.H.I.T.).

Thank you,
Boss In General, Special High Intensity Training (B.I.G. S.H.I.T.)

I don't approve of signatures, so I don't have one.

Reminds me of the time a group of us wanted to rename our school South
Hunsley Institute of Technology (lots of big schools were trying for college
status at the time, so it wasn't that unusual). Took the head nearly a week
to realise what we had set him up for.

This thread cannot be allowed to continue without mention of the plan to
rename Newcastle Polytechnic to

City University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne

apparently somebody suggested "University of Plymouth Institute of Science
and Technology"...
