Spare me your gay signatures!

Post by **themadscientist** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 7:54 pm

Not here, your h0m0 sigs make me laugh. I was referring to work e-mails I'm sure most of you who work in a place with office e-mail accounts are innundated with assanine quotes at the bottom on co-worker e-mails from Ghandi, Jack Welch, Hitler maybe I don't know. I can't stand that crap, it makes me want to send people viruses or NABLA application forms. Shut up, your attempt to be pithy and intellectual just reveals what a barren wasteland your personality is. You wear a pocket protector and spend half your day surfing p0rn because no one would actually want to talk to you in real life. A winning quote from Tony Robbins is not going to make me think "hey, skeeter over in shipping might not be the droolcup-toting trainwreck of a human being I thought he was, maybe I won't hook all his paperclips into a chain when he goes to lunch". Wait, no it doesn't, he is still a stain. Spare me your attempt at esoterica and send me the frigging report.

My favorite thing about email signature quotes is how after one person copies it from another who got it from his secretary who got it from her friend and so on and so on, what was once a meaningful quote by Socrates is now so butchered and misworded that it doesn't even make any sense.

I might start quoting Conan.

What is good?To crush your enemyTo see him driven before youTo hear the lamentation of the women

That should get some strange looks. Well, some MORE strange looks that is. I put a Pichu JPG at the bottom of my e-mails just to keep people nervous about my stability.

I like the bananna phone clip myself. It sticks in your head like a childhood trauma.

My company will not allow quotes in their sigs for fear it may offend others and to keep a business forward environment. However, pictures of puppies are free reign!

thats because pictures of puppies are relaxing...

Just ask all the people who've gone postal. Denny Crane would probably say if there were some puppies for them to shoot we wouldn't have had this problem.

Most where I work have the "If you've received this email by accident delete it and all attachments and forget you ever saw it ...". What a load of crap. If I've gotten what looks like some good info by accident, I'm KEEPING the crap.

Thankfully only about 2 or 3 idiots have Prius owner type quotes <stirs pot>

I thought I had already complained about this. Anyway, it still pisses me off. I have been making strange quotes recently as a passive aggressive way to fight back. I have some actual quotes from off the beaten track folks like

Mitch Hedberg

A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap

An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs

George Carlin

By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Graham Chapman

I can't talk to a man who bears an undeserved animosity towards ferrets

Even Schoolhouse Rock.

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Hookin up words and phrases and clauses.

Today I have taken it further and I'm starting to make s*** up. Here's a few I came up with on the drive in to work this morning.

Socrates

This wine tastes funny.

Galileo to the Roman Catholic Church

Agree to disagree?

George Donner

Let's go this way.

And my favorite thus far, Karl VonClausewitz

Scrambed eggs is the continuation of an omelet by other means.

Normally I find George Carlin pretty funny and on-point, but this one's as wrong as wrong can get.

I speak from personal experience. I have no delusions about my outlook on life. I am the ultimate pragmatist. I'm also the most cyincal person I've ever met. The latter stems DIRECTLY FROM the former. Pragmatism is the polar opposite of idealism.

You can't get cynicism from idealism. Idealism is a mindset of ignorant confidence. Cynicism is exactly the opposite: it is informed mistrust. You can't be an informed idealist. The two are incompatible.

But you're not human, so your experience doesn't apply here.

I just get a s*** of bible quotes that generally don't mean anything, make me laugh, make me feel inspired, etc. Just random Jesus all up in my email.

...Nothing's changed. However, I have seen a lot of emails from other companies come to us with a "think about the trees before you print". I'm using a box of paper as a foot rest.
