Figlet, get out of that pile of work.  It's not healthy for you.  You must
find at least 15 minutes a day to devote to the net.  It's so relaxing and
can provide the humor and stress relief that is needed daily.

Enjoy?  I loved it.  I laughed so hard that I gagged and thought my
co-workers were going to have to call 911 for assistance.  This sounds
so typical of how we've been responding to Carly that it's like one
of the family wrote it.   Hmmmm......Nah, well.....maybe....whatda say
anyone wanna fess up to this?  Good work who-ever did it.
