Joke of the year 2010

Omg! Joke of the year 2010!!

Would you ever ask your boss to arrange meeting for you?

One of my colleague did it!! Can you imagine he was asking a boss who has like 50-60 subordinates to arrange meeting?

What does he expect from the boss?

"Hi XXXX,

We have arranged a meeting on XXXXXX at XXXXXX. Kindly please join this meeting. Thanks."

Perhaps he is really expecting above message from bosses. Haha! Really joke of the year 2010!!

Last year I had a joke of the year 2009, which my ex-boss asked my ex-colleagues to bring along their desktop (CPU) to go oversea for a project!!

Suggestions from him:

I said: Boss, we need two more laptop for this oversea project.
Ex-boss: We have no budget on this (Two laptop is just cost him max about RM6k)
I said: Then how they work when they fly to oversea?
Ex-boss: Can you ask them to bring the desktop over, we should be able to borrow monitor, keyboard and mouse from the client.
I said: How to carry? It is not small.
Ex-boss: Ask them to send in as luggage.
I said: No, the officer will throw the CPU.
Ex-boss: Then ask them to hand carry.
I said: It is too big for hand carry.
Ex-boss: Ask them to de-assemble the components and re-assemble after reach ther.
I said: Sorry boss, I can't tell this to them.
Ex-boss: Oh, okay then you draft the email and send to me then I will forward to them. (He must be thinking I'm so stupid to write in email saying that I suggest or ask my colleagues to bring their CPU over)
I said: OK.

What I did was, I wrote the email like below:
"Hi boss,

As per you decision, you are asking XXXX and XXXX to bring their CPU over.....,"
