Humor, Not work appropriate.
On a recent trip to Meijer's, Cubbie went into one of their restrooms and found a racist comment carved into one of the stall walls. (I forget which subgroup of humans it refered to.) It reminded me of something I saw years ago in a WSU restroom, and how I wanted to respond.
In a restroom in the Russ Engineering Center, someone had written, in big, black, permenant marker, "ALL FUCKING GOOKS MUST DIE!" While I know this was a unintelligent, racist comment aimed at the large proportion of the Engineering school which at that time was Oriental, and that the person whose scrawl I was viewing would never see my response, my silly Bearish brain went in a totally different direction and wanted to respond with a typed letter taped under the text with the following:
From the desk of the Greene County Game Warden:
Thank you for your excited interest in hunting. It can be a fun and rewarding sport. It is rare to get such an emphatic request for a hunting license. Unfortunately, we must decline your request at this time. Reasons for this action are as follows:
1. Unable to identify animal to be hunted: We are unable to find "Gook" in our animal database. Either it does not exist in this area, or it is a nickname we are unfamiliar with. If the animal has another, more common, name, please feel free to resubmit your request with that name, and we will reconsider.
2. Season restriction: Your request mentions that you wish to hunt only those "Gooks" that are in the act of copulation. Hunting seasons are often scheduled to exclude mating seasons for animals, due to the disasterous effect this can have on population levels.
3. Quantity restriction: Your request asks for a license to kill all "Gooks." Hunting an animal into extinction is illegal. We cannot grant a license for all of a species.
Hopefully this will not lessen your enthusiam for the great sport of hunting, and please feel free to apply for other hunting licenses in the future.
Sincerly,
Game Warden Smith.
