The divisional director never just sent emails...
... instead he'd write a memo in MS-Word and attach that to an email to everyone. To make it look like a proper memo he put a (very high-quality) image of his signature on the bottom. Fool.

"That'll come in handy," I thought, and hung on to it for a year or two.

One slow Friday afternoon I wrote a memo to an old friend of mine in a different department, putting the director's signature on the bottom. It just said "Arse. Yours sincerely, ..." I figured it'd give him a brief double-take before spending a little while trying to guess who had actually sent it. To be doubly sure he knew it was a joke I added "P.S. Tee hee hee" to the bottom before printing it out and popping it in the internal mail.

Little did I know that said friend had been chatting to said director over the last couple of weeks (both of them were looking at buying property in France or something), so on receipt of the memo he took it straight into the director's office and said, "what? Why'd you send this? I don't get it."
