April Fools

So I get this call from one of my husbands co-workers. She proceeds to tell me that due to a typo his name was quoted in an email and that what turned into a mistake snowballed into an all out April Fools joke. Even enough to have another co-worker create a fake book cover. Here is the email and the following book cover. I think they have to much time on their hands.

My Husband's coworkers email about United Way donations to the employees.
* names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Hello All!
Slacrdad* wrote that, “A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.”

This year it is easier to contribute your “fair share” and it takes less than 90 seconds to complete. We are only at about 25% for United Way participation. We would really LOVE to have 100% participation by the end of this week.

Remember that you get a paid day off for contributing your “Fair Share” and we ALL will get a FREE LUNCH from Jon Doe* if we have 100% participation THIS WEEK ONLY!

My husbands response:

I would like to thank Betty Crocker* for quoting me from my new book, “Man and his Dog, and the Dog’s Bone” It is a novel where I explore the relationship between man and dog and a dog bone. It examines, as no other novel has done, when it is appropriate to throw the dog a bone, and outlines the often disputed and controversial relationship bonds that are created when you share the bone with the dog.

Presale orders can be taken at my website www.manandhisdogandthedogsbone.com and all the proceeds from pre-orders will be donated to the United Way.

Thank you for your support!

PS:

Please give to United Way and Happy April Fool’s Day!
