The Great Lamp Caper

~ randyaa ~ 2 Comments

Quite possibly the funniest email thread I’ve ever seen(update: link removed to protect the innocent) is being passed around work lately. This is how it starts:

Subject: my Lamp

The lamp from my table disappeared when I was on vacations. Could you please help me to return it back?

Thank you

~Alex (Developer)

Names have all been changed and, besides possible leads on the great Lamp caper, there’s no company confidential information in the entire thread so I have no problem sharing it. To understand why this is funny, you need to know who the 2 parties involved are.

Alex is just a low level Software Developer. Possibly been here a few years, maybe not.

His email is addressed to Dave aka CEO who responds below, and the conversation continues from there.

Dave (CEO): I’m sorry about your lamp. What would you suggest I do?

Alex (Developer): I do not know… as I understand some service people removed lamps from a lot of desks. Some people did not allow them to do this, but I was on vacation. Probably you can tell me who did this, by whose order or/and who is responsible and what I have to do to request the lamp back…

Dave (CEO): On the assumption that you are serious, I have copied Carl in our real estate group who can look into the great lamp caper. I wish you all the best.

Alex (Developer): I sent these emails mistakenly not looking at where I send them. I am so sorry. Please accept my apologies.

Dave (CEO): Don’t apologize. It’s ok. Chris will sort it out.

I find it awesome that he responded and I love the responses, but I sorta feel bad for the guy because it’s been passed on to EVERYONE.

Space Monkey News

Ricky Gervais was on The Daily Show Monday night and they showed a short clip from the new HBO show ‘The Ricky Gervais Show.’  It looked hilarious so I took a look around the net and was able to find some of the videos.  The Space Monkey Monkey News video was particularly hilarious.

Rachel and I haven’t laughed this hard in years.  Seriously, there were tears… Watch it!

It may be a little hard to follow unless you’re already familiar with Karl Pilkington or at least know he’s really this dumb.  Then again we didn’t know anything about him until we saw some of the Ricky Gervais videos so you’ll probably do just fine too.

Everything is Amazing and Nobody is Happy

A Video Clip from Louis CK on how amazing everything is around us, and how everyone has an instant expectation that they deserve it.  This is why it bothers me when people complain about their 3G coverage, or a slow Internet connection or any number of ways in which some new technology could be better.

Shut up and be appreciative for once.  We live in Amazing, Interesting Times with technology that’s improving faster than we can even learn about it.

I try to stay away from posting other’s videos anymore but I just couldn’t in this case.  Rachel and I laughed so hard at this video we cried.  Even if you’ve seen the original, with sound it’s much better.

Continuing with the quote theme, the following is a list of quotes from my friends, last updated in 2002.  Some are funny, some are just weird.  Sorry.

Randy: but I think I’m actually going to make money on the deal 🙂
Anthony: lol
Randy: they already gave me $270
Anthony: With you involved I’d be disappointed if you didn’t

The thing that drives us in life is coincidentally.. death. Without mortality, humanity would never strive to make things better for ourselves and more importantly for our children

Partying without you 2 (Randy & Brian) is like sex without the ass slapping

Jen from store 82: not that I have even come close to proving my thesis
Jen from store 82: because I don’t even understand my thesis

Randy: Yeah they’re gonna know we had a women navigator cause we’re late.
Anthony: Yeah but they’ll know she wasn’t in the drivers seat cause we actually got here.

If she and I were the last two members of the human race, stranded on an island; I’d rather **** in the ocean and hope to inseminate a fish than **** her.

Don’t criticize someone until You’ve walked a mile in their shoes, that way, when u criticize them you’ll be a mile away and you’ll have their shoes!

There are 10 types of people in this world; those who understand binary, and those who do not.

Randy: hey
Auto response from Anthony: off takin pic’s of my cocker 😛

There is a priest, a rabbi, and a golf pro and they all come up to this lake. Priest goes, “Bless this lake”, Rabbi goes Mimpf Minshkoosh Mincki which means, “Bless this lake”. The golf pro walks up and goes, “Wheres my ball”. And the lesson of this story, “The Devil took the ball and the lake”. No really…there is still no point to this “joke”

Patience is:
-letting that driver in front of you go slow without pulling up to the side of him and swearing at him (actually…its usually a her).
-learning to slow it down once in a while in this fast paced society.
-just waiting for her to happen.
-expecting to be disappointed and growing on it.
-realizing how short life is and accepting what you are doing with life.
-finding a target “her” and realizing its still out of reach.
-hearing someone out before you panic
-taking a chance
-is life
-is reading this whole thing and adding your own instance of choice.

Matteo: did you hear about the new S-Box??? It’s great. Even better than the real thing. Yep. Microsoft teamed up with Satan to create a hybrid video game system that will make you scream. The X-box hasn’t been doing good and a new IMPROVED game system should change that statisic. I just saw a commerical yesterday for it and it was so funny. Satan was marketing it and had a little boy playing with a few of the games. Here’s a few that I can remember. Satan vs. Jesus, Hitlers final solution, Angel wars, and my favorite Terrorist Air 666!!! All great titles that will make this the greatest game experience you’ll ever see. Konard from Gamestop gave it 8 fingers up!!! He is preordering 3 of them. Stocking stuffers I guess. Well, thats about all. It’s going to be HOT!!!

My chaps are lipped.
