Can I go on record and state that the memorial gift chosen for our deceased coworker is terrible?

[Orrex]

I said it at the beginning, I reiterated it during the deliberations, and I repeat it now.

Terrible choice.


Terrible.

1. Can you say what it was?

Haw can I judge you otherwise?

[Orrex]

4. Rather not say--not sure if coworkers read this, and I don't want to cause a stir

Suffice it to say that the family made a very specific request regarding donations in the name of the deceased, and the committee here at work said, in essence, "well, we want to do this instead."

Regardless of the worthiness of the gift itself (which I question in any case), it directly contradicts the express wishes of the family. For that reason alone I find it insensitive at best and flat-out inappropriate at worst.

Whatever the wishes of the committee, they should defer to the family in this matter.

8. I agree

Even if the gift itself is excellent and in good taste, people should respect the family's wishes.

2. Yes!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. Something made out of asbestos?

That would be in poor taste.

[Wait Wut]

5. An ash tray?

[Dr. Strange]

6. Fine, we get it already.

You don't think a year's subscription to Juggs magazine is an appropriate memorial gift.

We outvoted you--get over it!

7. I hear it was a close vote. Real nipple and tuck!
