I did a search. I think it was Tomato Hornworms posted by Oddwen. I'm not sure what tomato hornworms are, but they sound like they belong in Mordor.

They're big, waxy, green, horrid, fat, ugly caterpillars that can bite. Oh gross, I just found a recipe...bring the Mordor-bound truck around, there's another shipment ready...

I'm sending excessively stupid people to Mordor, or more specifically, excessively stupid people who earn far higher wages than I do.

Yesterday I got to work and found an e-mail from someone who earns approximately 3.5 times more salary than I do. It was in response to an e-mail inviting said person to a meeting and furnishing them with all necessary details and papers. The instructions could not have been more clear had I gone and gently led them by the hand to the meeting themselves. The reply I received simply said "whens the meetin" (sic). If I could get approximately 3.5 times my salary for sitting behind a desk and going "nurrrrrr" while drooling then I would. However, said e-mail was sent at 6.40am, so clearly being willing (or stupid enough) to get up and get to work before the milkman has even started his rounds negates any lack of brain cells.

I am not sending to Mordor my excess of sarcasm.

I send siblings who get up at aproximately 6:30am in the morning. GRR!!! I swear, my sister got up that early just to anger me and if that's what her plan was, then she acheved it.

Edit: I noticed what I said earlier and decided to change it seeing as there are young ones around. Sorry to everyone for that.

I believe there was no excuse in this case - as said person was in a position of responsibility. I'm much lower in the pecking order, so I'm the one allowed to be stupid.

Why not compromise and send the system that allows less intelligent people into positions of authority to Mordor? I mean, surely we should have a strictly Feudal society, based on intelligence according to tests taken at birth, with the phantom as our leader?

Looks like I'm in Mordor...again. 6:30 is sleeping in for me.

I assign dirty bathrooms, especially when I have to clean them.
