Dear Penis
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:
- You do not work 8 hours straight.
- You fall asleep after brief work periods.
- You do not always follow the orders of the management team.
- You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
- You do not take initiative – you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
- You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
- You don’t always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
- You will retire well before you are 65.
- You are unable to work double shifts.
- You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed the assigned task.
- As if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the work place carrying two suspicious-looking bags.
