I recently had an e-mail exchange with a co-worker that I found humorous. I thought it was worth sharing.

This is what happens when you but an illiterate person like myself on important work like the stuff you do.
My response:
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Although I appreciate the help, that was LT. Yauney’s decision. If I were placed in charge you would be driving a small sailboat with wheels on it around the perimeter of the Green Zone singing happy Arabic songs about peace, love and understanding. You would also be wearing the same type of hat Skipper wore on Gilligan’s Island. The boat would be full of ice cream, which you would give out to all the children on request.
Respectfully,
Sgt. Trevor L. Snyder

He forgot to Photoshop the Skipper’s hat and the Good Humor ice cream. I really like the rims. Can you ask him where they came from?
Thanks to the both of you for your dedication to your job!

I’m glad you two enjoyed this. It gave me a much needed laugh. Sgt. Pitcher and I have our differences, but he certainly is talented with PhotoShop.
