    Nice :) - Here's our one:
    This message (including any attachments) is confidential and is probably bound to annoy someone. If you are not the intended recipient, you should only forward this email to your close friends or relatives before deleting all copies. To do this, drag the email onto your desktop, burn the email to a CDROM disk and then put this disk into the shredder – this is the only way to be sure that the file has been properly destroyed. Putting the disk in the microwave for 30 seconds is also acceptable and generally more entertaining, although it does make last night's lasagna taste a bit plastic-y. If you are still concerned, just place a large magnet next to your computer overnight – that should do it. Any information, statements or opinions contained in this message (yes, including those attachments) are given by the author if inoffensive, otherwise it was something that Peter said and I just wrote it down. They are not given on behalf of Parca unless we promised something which we cannot afford, in which case, Parca is not a real person – so you are probably stuck. All sent and received email from/to Parca is automatically printed out and placed on the notice-board and scanned by all staff for the presence of computer viruses, security issues and especially inappropriate content so we can all have a good laugh. Please print this email out and then recycle it so we have more recyclable paper stock to make new recycled paper from which should mean we don't have to cut down more trees.

    print. I've bookmarked parca.com.au and there's nothing you can do to
    stop me!

    Love it, very funny! I am changing corporate policy as I type!

    P.S. The padding/margins of your comment section make me sad.
  • alan jones · 8 months ago
    Thanks! Yeah, the padding/margins suck, don't they? I've tried and failed to change that. Anybody know how to fix it?
  • bananasontoast · 8 months ago
    Of course, just add this in somewhere in your CSS...

    #disqus_thread, a.dsq-brlink {
    margin-left: 20px;
    }
  • alan jones · 8 months ago
    That worked! Thx Mitch!
  • bananasontoast · 8 months ago
    Very welcome... you might also want to change that to just margin: 20px; as the right margin is out too.
