Annoying our H&S lady

I would have gone for "Extra large so I can put nice safe fuses on my
molotov cocktails". Making sure you were carrying the petrol can from under
your desk obviously.

 

Who's just been tasked with handing out free[1] corporate T-shirts,
which are all surplus to requirements because they have our old (ie:
six months old) logo on them.

It's free, so I'll have one... trundle upstairs and ask for my T-shirt.


'What size do you want?' she asks.

"Extra large: you can get more polish on, that way."

There was a delayed drop of two seconds before she twigged, and then an
angry frown....


[1] Well, you'd never get anyone to *buy* them, would you?

 

TOG:

Yebbut, did you get one?

 

Yuss, and it's being chopped up into rags tonight.

Why?

Well, would you wear a T-shirt that bears the legend:

"a diverse information group providing specialist content and acces to
business, professional, and academic communities worldwide

.....and a really great place to work!

?

FFS.

 

yes. I'd wear it like special magic pants.

 

Especially since they spelt access wrong

 

If it was true I might.

You do realise that some consultant was probably paid megabucks to
come up with that, and you're making rags from it, shame on you.

 

They only come in large, then. Or is it really small print?
"If you can read this t-shirt, while you're down there . . ."

Cold be worse, could have "On Demand" written on it.

 

I know. Effing ridiculous, innit. Top quality cotton, and it's all
chopped up now into rag-sized handfuls. I might get another one
tomorrow.

I mean, journos are about the most cynical people on the planet. You
should have *heard* the comments when we saw the things.

"What a waste of money...."

"That's my Christmas bonus, that is...."

"Who the **** do they think is going to wear that?"

etc etc

Anyone else want one?

 

The Older Gentleman scribbled on the back of a napkin:

Yeah, why not...

 

The Older Gentleman wrote

Please.

 

I'd never wear anything that grammatically incorrect.

I'm on holiday for the next three days. I'll email her and ask her to
put a few to one side.

She'll smell a rat, mind.

Excellent stuff.

If that were only half her troubles.

So you're adding, 'They'll make great polish rags' to the list now

 

Laura uses a variety of big t-shirts for sleeping in.

Go on then.
