Odd Stuff

Every once in awhile, we come across something hilarious or fun that has nothing to do with surfing.  The Shrink, Zoomer, Gekko, Bit Brain, and the rest of the staff got together and tried to figure out a way to organize this stuff in some coherent fashion.  Since there's little organization or coherence at the SurfHumor Headquarters in the People's Republic of San Francisco, a solution was never found.  So, we just threw all the odds and ends on this page.

SurfHumor Human Resource Policies

 DRESS CODE  It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing $350 Prada sneakers & carrying a $600 Gucci bag we assume you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

 SICK  DAYS  We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

 SURGERY  Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.

PERSONAL  DAYS  Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

VACATION  DAYS  All employees will take their vacation at the same time every year. The vacation days are as follows: Jan. 1, July 4 & Dec. 25

ABSENCE DUE TO YOUR OWN  DEATH  This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks notice, as it is your duty to train your own replacement.

RESTROOM USE  In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical Order. For instance, all employees whose names begin with 'A' will go From 8:00 to 8:20, employees whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8:20 to 8:40 and so on. If you're unable to go at your allotted time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your turn comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may swap their time with a coworker. Both employees' supervisors must approve this exchange in writing. In addition, there is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the  "Chronic Offenders" category.

LUNCH BREAK  Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim Fast and take a diet pill.
