>> was called into the HR director's office, and told
>> that the executive vice president wanted me out of the
>> building by lunch. When I asked why, I was told that
>> she wouldn't stand for perverts (pedophiles?) working
>> in her company. Finally, he showed me her copy of the
>> memo, with her demand that I be fired - and the word
>> "pedagogical" circled in red. The HR manager was
>> fairly reasonable, and once he looked the word up in
>> his dictionary and made a copy of the definition to
>> send back to her, he told me not to worry. He would
>> take care of it. Two days later, a memo to the entire
>> staff came out directing us that no words which could
>> not be found in the local Sunday newspaper could be
>> used in company memos. A month later, I resigned. In
>> accordance with company policy, I created my
>> resignation memo by pasting words together from the
>> Sunday paper. (Taco Bell Corporation)
