How timely! Here's an old email I dug up while cleaning work emails...I used to be a department manager in a regional office for a big research firm and one of my employees was leaving. He noted that his great grandfather was an actual pirate! I came up with this announcement of his leaving to send out to our office (thought it all up except the top 10 list at the bottom, which I modified):
How in the world does one follow-up on Peter Cotters limerick?!?
Hmmm Karl did always dream of becoming a pirate (Translations in Blue)
Ahoy Mateys! Hello my friends!
Shiver Me Timbers! I be announcin Karl has decided to weigh anchor from ye good ship Bases and set sail for the great open seas! It is with great sadness that Im announcing that Karl has decided to resign from BASES and seek outside employment (yet to be determined).
Arrrggghhh he be a fine fellow and great Powder Monkey for the past 2 yars!
He has been a great Tab Analyst for us during the more than 2 years hes been employed at BASES and he even became known as the K***t Specialist in our group!
Karl cleared many a barnacles from the dirty salmagundi we dredged and turned it into fine booty for the likes of all of us. Yarrr, he rarely scuttled his skippers and eagerly swabbed the poopdeck each morn.
He regularly turned out excellent quality tabs on a routine basis and was always willing to help on requests.
Yarr me hearties! He oft got the crew dancin a hempen jig wit a good yo-ho-ho! Ah-har! He be liked fine by me crew and if ye think otherwise scallywag, ye be answerin to me blade and me crew!
He was also liked and respected by all of us here. I viewed him as a very valuable member of the group with a lot of talent and much potential for growth. In addition, he had a great sense of humor! J
Set sail Dread Pirate Karl and may ye be findin yer treasure in the open seas! Ye best be getting doubloons matey, else ye be seein Tabby Jones Locker! I hear ye be walkin the plank on the 18th o August.
Please join me in wishing Karl the best for the future that lies ahead for him although Im sure hell be a success in whatever he does. His last day will be August 18.
Aye! I not be tellin a yarn Karl be wantin to be a pirate his whole life!
P.S. Im not kidding Karl really wanted to be a pirate for at least the past 16 years!
(Cannonballs be firin on Karls ship!)
