Back in April, the company asked us "What's your life like outside of work?" on the company message board. Being silly, I replied "I take up the ol' shotgun and chainsaw and battle the undead which threaten my fair city."
Today, in the company newsletter, I find my original message board post and this equally silly response from the newsletter staff, "Charles, keep fightin' the good fight down there in Naples, FL. Are you sure those creatures are the undead? Maybe they are skunk-apes from the Okeefenokee Swamp. We're not saying it's any easier to destroy a skunk-ape than an undead thing, but it takes a different strategy and tools. Try baiting them with bananas. We find that to be very effective."
Mind you, the nearest swamp is the Everglades, but at least they recognized my efforts.
To clarify, this was on the humor page at the back of the magazine.
