A disclaimer worth claiming
This is just some of LeeAnn’s proposed email footer:
IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low self-esteem, no sense of humor or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this e-mail is not authorized (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes an irritating social faux pas. Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct context somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission of this email, although the chihuahua next door is living on borrowed time, let me tell you.
Said chihuahua would be well advised to absquatulate.

To be fair, I didn’t compose this but saved it from long long LONG ago… I think it was carved on a rock in an early incarnation of email. Stone mail, perhaps.

Stone mail had a lot to recommend it. For one thing, it was too much trouble to spam someone.

Now that is an email footer worthy of an A-list blogger!
