I've seen other rants against Comic Sans - but the post seemed to be begging for some. Just a taste.

Don't get me started on signatures. In our company you cannot even fight the bloody disclaimer they put on every email! A one line email is usually 20 lines of signature and disclaimer. Now imagine if a dumb-sh*t dares to reply to all, it get multiplied to eternity and beyond!
I hate email and everything that comes with it, specially when somebody writes back "Thanks". No matter how polite it is, its bullshit. Take the phone or use instant messaging, that's why we have implemented it and pay a shitload of money for stuff that people request but never use.
I'm grumpy too.
Have a nice day

And the marketing drones who drive this sort of behavior.
Yes, the reason our company is foundering is because people don't have the same look to their email signatures. Nice analysis, Shemp.

Hi All,
Just had an interesting Email converstation with a Civil Engineer, Polite Engineer was a term my Mum came up with to decribe my Dad. Surfice to say it is not a general term.

And just why do they call them "Civil Servants", when they are neither civil nor servile?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You don't have to be servile to be a servant. Have you never read any Jeeves and Wooster (notice who gets the top billing, by the way!)
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Politeness defined by culture...All civil engineers I know have no culture whatsoever...

For one lucky member of this parish, life could be about to get very weird with a high chance of increased alcohol/blood levels.
On Friday, Mrs Wife and I are going to look at some houses very near to one of you. I'll give no more clues but watch out for screaming villagers running for their lives. Then you'll know we've arrived.
