The Rise and Fall of Casual Day
Memo No. 1:
Effective immediately, the company is adopting Fridays as Casual
Day so that employees may express their diversity.
Memo No. 2:
Spandex and leather micro-miniskirts are not appropriate attire for
Casual Day. Neither are string ties, rodeo belt buckles or
moccasins.
Memo No. 3:
Casual Day refers to dress only, not attitude. When planning
Friday's wardrobe, remember image is a key to our success.
Memo No. 4:
A seminar on how to dress for Casual Day will be held at 4 p.m.
Friday in the cafeteria. Fashion show to follow. Attendance is
mandatory.
Memo No. 5:
As an outgrowth of Friday's seminar, a 14-member Casual Day Task
Force has been appointed to prepare guidelines for proper dress.
Memo No. 6:
The Casual Day Task Force has completed a 30-page manual. A copy of
"Relaxing Dress Without Relaxing Company Standards" has been mailed
to each employee. Please review the chapter "You Are What You Wear"
and consult the "home casual" versus "business casual" checklist
before leaving for work each Friday. If you have doubts about the
appropriateness of an item of clothing, contact your CDTF
representative before 7 a.m. on Friday.
Memo No. 7:
Because of lack of participation, Casual Day has been discontinued,
effective immediately

ASSUMING THE WORST
A new pastor decided to visit the children's Sunday school. The
teacher introduced him and said, "Pastor, this morning we're
studying Joshua."
"That's wonderful," said the new pastor, "Let's see what you're
learning. Who tore down the walls of Jericho?"
Little Johnny shyly raised hand and offered, "Pastor, I didn't do
it."
Taken aback the pastor asked, "Come on, now, who tore down the
walls of Jericho?"
The teacher, interrupting, said, "Pastor, little Johnny's a good
boy. If he says he didn't do it, I believe he didn't do it."
Flustered, the pastor went to the Sunday school director and
related the story to him. The director, looking worried,
explained, "Well, sir, we've had some problems with Johnny
before. Let me talk to him and see what we can do."
Really bothered now by the answers of the teacher and the
director, the new pastor approached the deacons and related the
whole story, including the responses of the teacher and the
director. A white-haired gentleman thoughtfully stroked his chin
and said, "Well, Pastor, I move we just take the money from the
general fund to pay for the walls and leave it at that."
