    Double-fired

    Some poor bloke was not only fired from his job... But he was DOUBLE-fired just in case the first firing didn't take.

    His response however, is nothing short of brilliant.

    Basically, "David" was fired from his job (for specifically unknown reasons). But obviously that wasn't sufficient for the company. After he was fired, HR sent him a letter stating that, HAD HE ALREADY NOT have been fired, he WOULD HAVE been fired for other reasons...

    Essentially adding insult to injury. Why would ANY company bother to write such a letter other than just out of sheer spite? They already fired him. To tell him that had he not been fired, he would have been fired is just absurd -- and surreal.

    David sent back a reply to the company's HR department showing them just how stupid and surreal their "we would've fired you anyway" letter actually was by providing information that was equally useless -- sharing what he WOULD HAVE had for lunch had he not already made something else...

    Wow. A 4 inch pocket knife is a weapon in her vernacular.

    Reckon what she'd think of a Marine's bare hands?

    Around where I live a 4 inch pocket knife isn't a weapon...it's a tool for opening things like boxes and envelopes. And castrating calves.

    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    It was a sad day when our society became so scared that it labeled a pocket knife as a weapon. When I was growing up, every boy owned a pocket knife. Now, most boys not only don't own or carry one, but would probably cut themselves trying to open it.

    I'd like to say that I wouldn't work for a company such as this, but unfortunately my organization also bans knives with more than a 4 inch blade. Fortunately, the one I carry is only 3 inches.

    However, this particular company is mean and vindictive by trying to intimidate a former employee. Its a wonder they didn't deliver it by a SWAT team.
