Important Changes to Our "Bring Pets To Work" Policy
From The Lampoon Corporate Headquarters Human Resources Department
New Guinea Pig Policy
The Lampoon has decided to adopt the same Guinea Pig policy that many other liberal media companies have developed:
Guinea Pigs must be immersed in a mixture of water, pet shampoo and Lubriderm for at least 10 minutes before entering the facility. This cuts down on the dander, gives them a shiny coat, kills fleas, and sometimes the animal itself. They must be on leashes and are not allowed in the weight-room, cafeteria, or lobby.
Recently deceased Guinea Pigs can be brought in only after laundering them in a washing machine, including the full wash, rinse and spin cycles. The remains may be brought in on a leash only. Skid marks must be cleaned up by the owner.
Decomposing Guinea Pigs may only be brought in when wrapped in wax paper, sealed in a ZipLock bag, and frozen overnight. The animal must remain in the freezer except when the owner takes it out for a walk or lunch.
Stuffed Guinea Pigs may be placed on the owner’s desk as long as the animal has been properly dried, treated and stuffed. These make good paperweights, pencil holders, or Nerf-style footballs.
On the second Friday of July, the Lampoon Headquarters will host the annual “Guinea Pig Fandango”. Prizes for biggest, fattest, and ugliest will be awarded along with the Guinea Pig Distance Toss Contest.
Thank you for your attention to these important policy changes.
New Grizzly Bear Policy
Due to our second fatal mauling this year, we’re sorry to say that our Grizzly Bear Policy has been changed. The Lampoon will now welcome our 400 to 700 pound friends only on Wednesdays during Lent. This will coincide with the Lampoon’s “Wear Your Favorite Raw Meat To Work” Days, but we don’t foresee any problems.
Thank you for you cooperation and please don’t hesitate to contact your friends in HR about any policy questions.
