Signatures on work emails

Years ago, I used to put a different signature on my work email every day.  I drew from a few books of quotations, and I would spice it up with amusing song lyrics now and then.  My employer asked me to stop when I included a lyric from the Barenaked Ladies that went, “When she was three, her Barbies always did it on the first date…”  Someone found that offensive (which I found even more amusing), so I had to call it quits on the signatures.

Every now and then, I run across a song that makes me wish I was still doing the daily sigs, like today’s upbeat shout of a chorus:

“C’mon baby, let’s separate
C’mon baby, let’s separate
I paid my dues, you’re makin’ plays
I’d do anything to get away…”

Gotta love that.  Comes from The Blood Arm‘s song “P.S. I Love You But Don’t Miss You.”  (No, that’s not a message to Erika in any way – the song is just hilarious.)
