The Terrorists Have Won - My Company Says So.

Each year, like most large companies, those sales persons that exceed their quota get to go to the Presidents Club.

Last year was sunny Mexico, this year is was to be in the Mediterranean.

Well, it turns out that because of September 11th, they have canceled the Mediterranean trip and decided to send their excellent sales people to…now get this…

St. Johns NEWFOUNDLAND!

WTF!!!

I am so glad my company sees fit to get cheap and screw us all out of a nice trip!

Heck! Taking us to the out west to the Rockies would have been nice…but Newfoundland? Give me a break!!!

Errr…that should be
“The Terrorists have WON…”

If the mods could kindly fix. (Tanx much!)

Hrrm Rockies of a foreign country that makes good beer.
At least you get a company sponsered vacation…

We get to draw our own blood for later testing…

I have one, too. Will your company announce that? Will I be required to prove it?

So, are you trying to say that terrorists who reach their quota are also taken to a posh resort on the company’s dime?

Yasser Arafat: “Osama, I’d like you to meet my wife. She looks forward to these events every year.”

Osama Bin Laden: “Lovely to meet you Mrs. Arafat. I don’t get to come to these things too often, but this has really been a banner year for us.”

Saddam Hussein: “Sorry to interrupt, but that really is a lovely piece you are wearing. Kalashnikov, right? I saw it at the spring runway show in Paris.”

Terry Nichols: “It’s really too bad Timothy couldn’t be here. He missed out on last year’s too, what with jail and execution and all.”

Osama Bin Laden: “Let’s drink one for old Tim. Then I’ve got to go - I’ve got a massage appointment with Sven at 1.”

Saddam Hussein “Say, where is Gerry Adams this year? I wanted to go over some agenda items we didn’t get to last year - we got interrupted when he won the wet t-shirt contest.”

Terry Nichols “Didn’t you hear? He’s talking disarmament these days, meeting with the White House. He’s gone legit.”

Osama Bin Laden(giggling) “My followers almost destroyed the White House”

Yasser Arafat "Now, Osama, we’ve talked about this. ‘Almost’ destroyed is like ‘almost’ pregnant. Either you destroyed it or you didn’t. "

ANNOUNCEMENT OVER LOUDSPEAKER: Welcome, friends, family, and beloved guests to Sudan’s finest resort community. Ladies arriving from international destinations can pick up their burqwas at the front desk. We hope you will all join us in the Tiki room for cocktails at 5.

Okay, I’m sick, but that’s what I thought of when I read the OP.

Oh , I dunno – “The Terrorists Have One” has a nice Pythonesque ring to it:

And if they send you sometime between, oh, October and March they can save even more money because it’s low season.

Actually, I’ve sent some hunters and fisherman to Newfoundland. It suited their purposes pretty well. I don’t imagine it would really appeal to those looking for a resort setting, though.

Skip the sunscreen, bring bug repellant, and watch out for the moose that like to play dodge-'em cars.

Thank you, mags, that was magnificent.

i got a christmas card from a temp agency we use once in a while. it says that they usually send out gifts to thier clients, but this year, they donated to some charity in our name!

gee, thanks.

(actually, i think its great! i didn’t want thier dry-ass cookies or fruitcake anyway!)

My company downsized me. I would welcome an employer sponsored trip to damn near anywhere. I am too old to join the Marines for a trip to anywhere, so don’t start.

Better check and make sure it wasn’t [Seinfield reference]The Human Fund[/Seinfeld reference].
