6.l.
Somewhere on
the twenty-sixth floor a man in upper management reviewed the e-mail
correspondence of his employees. There
was a great deal of traffic on the subject of “Underpants Tuesdays.” He had no recollection of such an alternation
of the dress code but quickly dismissed any growing concerns after seeing the
phrase repeated, over and over again, in Arial and Times New Roman.
What continued
to nag at him was this adherence to Tuesday.
He was not aware that it was Tuesday.
Quite sure that it was, indeed, not Tuesday. It upset him a great deal that his
subordinates had received notice of this unprecedented modification to the
weekly schedule and he had not.
In moments he
had a plan He would visit the office and
honor the underpants aspect of the day and in so doing, he would demonstrate the
degree to which he was informed on all office related matters.
Unfortunately,
having been absent from the events leading up to the creation of Underpants
Tuesday, he had no visual reference for what this new theme day might look
like. And so it was that he walked into
the office wearing his tighty-whities over his pinstripe slacks.
A wave of
e-mails concerning Superhero Tuesday flooded the office inboxes.
