Apropos nowt

Cleaning out my desk I came across this. Years back while I was elected as the editor of an emerging standard there was one member of the committee who was a particular PITA. One daw a coworker pinned tis to the wall of my cubicle, we had that ^%$# open office plan which went finally to cubicles. Anyhow I still think it funny.

Nice typography. It's stressful just to read the headline.

I think that was probably the authors intent, as you say it does induce stress. That was a lady coworker who was fond of me, she was the one who gave me a humerous present at my retirement. A small rectangualar box inscribed "How to succeed in business" and inside mounted on velvet was a 4 inch long brass woodscrew with the word 'everybody' underneath it, as she knew that was the last thing I was capable of doing.
