i just got this email...funny but it seems like there should be more...

I just wanted to share a few thoughts after watching the last debate.
It dawned on me that Obama could actually win this thing!
If that happens there will be a lot of people (some of our co-workers
included) who will be afraid that an Obama presidency will usher in the
end of days.
They'll be watching us on November 5th (the day after the election) for
"signs of the end" times. To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from
getting nervous, I think we should develop a list of acceptable
celebrations and behaviors we should probably avoid - at least for the
first few days:
1) No crying, hugging or shouting "Thank you, Lord" - at least not in
public.
2) No high-fives - at least not unless the area is clear and there are
no witnesses.
3) No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters.
4) No calling in sick on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too many
of us don't show up.
5) We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in passing.
Just try to keep from grinning too hard.
6) No singing loudly, "We've Come This Far By Faith" (it WILL be
acceptable to hum softly).
7) No bringing barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the company
lunchroom for at least a week (no chitterlings AT ALL! This may make us
seem too ethnic.)
8) No leaving Kool-aid packages at the water fountain.
9) No Cupid Shuffle during breaks (this could indicate a little too much
excitement.)
10) Please no Moving On Up music (we are going to try to remain
humble.)
