No defects. Total commit(t)ment.

sotpAt work today, in honor of my company’s 60th anniversary, everyone got a cool folder tote bag handed to them when they came in to work. On the canvas tote itself was a monogram of our anniversary seal and it was proudly inscribed with one of our more recent buzz-phrases…

Zero defects. Zero accidents. Total committment.

Did you catch it? Pretty funny, huh? The combination of “Zero defects” and “committment” on the same logo-emblazoned item was enough for the mythical-they-entity to decide to “recall” ALL of the totes. By the time I arrived at work they had already stopped giving them out. Mega-bummer! :-| When I got home, I scoured the so-called information superhighway but found no trace or mention of this mishap. I was hoping some disgruntled employee had already made a humor site somewhere or had forwarded a picture to some of the bigger blogsites… or even put one up on eBay. But nothing. The confiscation teams must’ve done their job well.

Oh, if anyone knows or sees of this being mentioned anywhere in the electric ether, please let me know. :-)

    Reminds me of the shirts they made for the Ukraine trip initially - they said “Transformaton Church”.

    Hehehe.

    Didn’t Marvin Martian have a ray gun that shot transformatons? Yeah, he could transform objects into different ones. :-)

    Better hope you don’t get stopped in some radiation area during a drill with that bag. :-)

    Did the Commandant do a head count in all the barracks, or did someone (-thing) tunnel out?

    Never underestimate an entire facility of resourceful little bees. Up at the site, I was frequently amazed with what the union workers and navy sailors either knew, saw, possessed, did, ate, drank, smoked… all of which unbeknownst to those you don’t want to knownst what you’re doing.

    They (such an anonymousizing anthropomorphic pronoun) say a picture is worth a thousand words. What say ye?

    I’d say that if you had a picture you should email it over. :-)

    Time is such a fun thing as is ether, one never knows the timing of fun things arriving from out of the ether. As they (the anonymousizing anthropomorphic pronoun) say, stay tuned, don’t touch that dial. Stranger things have appeared, quite unexpectedly, in the transporter room of the Enterprise.
