Too funny. My brother uses the F bomb as if it's punctuation (only in very casual settings) and it drives me nuts... Some people say ummmmm, he says 'so the uh, F****ing thing'. He sounds like a caveman. I'm definitely forwarding this to him. He wonders why he is still single?

Did your company really have to put this out? That's sad.

No, my company did not put this out. I got it from a friend by e-mail. I am pretty sure it's a joke and that her company did not issue it either.

ETA - but I am sure a few companies have this problem
