<...Trust the computer industry to shorten "Year 2000" to Y2K. It was this kind of thinking that caused the problem in the first place...>

Jeez, and I was wondering what all the fuss was about the Year 2048.

Dear Valued Employee:

Re: Vacation Pay

Our records indicate that you have not used any vacation time over the past 100 year(s). As I'm sure you are aware, employees are granted 3 weeks of paid leave per year or pay in lieu of time off. One additional week is granted for every 5 years of service.

Please either take 9,400 days off work or notify our office and your next pay check will reflect payment of $8,277,432.22 which will include all pay and interest for the past 1,200 months.

Sincerely,

Automated Payroll Processing

Some phrases that should be banned:

Any sentence with the acronym Y2K.

"You know what I'm saying"

"Say mo fo"

"I was a happy camper"

And, if any of you listened to any of the defense arguments in the impeachment trial, you will agree that no sentence should be allowed with the word "specificity."
