Dear Employees:
It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals

Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended,
this type of language will no longer be tolerated.
We do, however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately
express your feelings when communicating with co-workers.

Yep! HR taks all the fun out of working these days.
I don't know.....I like the original sayings. F*&^ it, I'm sticking with the original. More dramatic that way!
LOL! I'll have to remember these. Seems like the alternatives lose something in the translation, though.
No fucking way this is for real... ??? hahaha excellent
Giggling out loud, jen.
Jen, I must have seen this about a dozen times now and I laugh out loud each time! I love it, thanks!
Ha. One of the better pass-along emails.
My job, fortunately, allows me to swear like a particularly profane sailor at work, but I always have the slight fear that it'll end poorly.
I think I still prefer ALL of the "Instead Of's"... Yeah... they win, hands down... If they had hands...
hahahhaha!! F__________ Hilarious!
I'm back, didya miss me????
Those were helpful Jen! Yes, of course, the originals were funnier and more powerful, but I will have to use these.
Mel - it's about damn time you're back!
