I have never seen a person who drives a harley and wears north face with their hair parted on the right.
Either way, I just sign things In Hoc.

Nice!
I've also seen it signed, I/H by the folks at national.

I have a few co-workers that inexplicably say certain words in the accent of the word's origin. For example, a few people around here say "I watched the Tour de France last year....." pronouncing "France" as "Frawnse"...and another person in particular who will says the words "Latino" or "Latina" in a Spanish accent...but only that word; otherwise its good old Michigan midwestern.
To get back on topic, I also have a colleague who still says "Ciao" on emails and in person....because he worked in Rome for a year - 6 years ago.

I like to laugh at foreigners, too. Good stuff!

I truly get a kick out of the legal stuff at the end. Basically it boils down to, "If you received this message in error, forget its contents and destroy immediately, under the penalty of law!!!!!!!" As if it's somehow a recipient's fault if the lawyer can't get his contact info straight...

Agreed. I just got one that said the message is the property of the sender. Well, if you sent it to me, it ain't yo property no mo ho.

I hear our Canadian brother's get upset when HQ is referred to as nationals. They like to be included too.

What's the consensus on "Thanks?"

Thrillho,
100% of my emails are closed with this salutation. Mostly because I am often an asshole via email and it reinforces the passive aggressive tone that I am trying to convey.
Thanks,
P Crack

How about "v/r"
Prevalent in the gov sector...never was really sure if it was very respectfull or virtual regards. Most people I talked with used it as virtual regards.
V/r,

Brodson,
Dick pics are always appropriate. Also great for reinforcing a passive-aggressive attitude and are most effective when the pic is simply attached with no other reference made to it.
Cheers Mate,
El P Crack.

How about the dooshbags that end with "Warm Regards", "Thank You", "Sincerely" or "Respectfully"...what the fuck, dude...
Then there are those that you know are just trying to get a rise out of you when they include some sort of legal mumbo jumbo paragraph at the end of it...as if what they say is so important.
Fuck those dooshbags! They probably drive a harley, wear North Face, and have their hair parted on the right.

Wait....on my right or your right?

Oh! That's what it means. I got that from a chick once and thought it meant "Vagina Raptor"...come to think of it, she just started at our company and before, she was working for the government.

How about quotations AFTER the valediction?
Old dude I worked with had this:
"There are 10 kind of people in the world.
Those that understand binary, and those that do not."

It does mean "Vagina Raptor," he's just messing with you. Probably was her nickname at her last job. You should probably refer to her as only that, out of respect and all.
