How I learned I hated freedom.

A funny email from the boss-man--

This is truly a sad day for the AACR.

Just in case you misunderstood—August 2 is the last day to sign up for events at the AACR Picnic. There’s no law that says you can’t sign up before then.

Signing up early allows the Picnic Activities Committee to more effectively schedule the events. Here we are, 5 days after the signup sheets were posted, and let’s just say the response has not been overwhelming. Heck, it hasn’t even been whelming.

Did you realize that twice as many people have signed up for badminton (8) than softball (4)? Are you kidding me? I’m sure badminton is very popular among the hoity-toity upper crust, but softball is the people’s game. You don’t need skill, you can drink beer while you play, and trash talk is not only permitted, it’s encouraged! What could be more American than that? So do your patriotic duty and sign up to serve on the softball roster. The choice is simple: either you like softball, or you hate freedom.
