Early Retirement

[maggiebee]

Dear People of Great Britain & Scotland.

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of the
economy, your Government has decided to implement a scheme to put
workers 50 years of age and older on early retirement. This scheme
will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the government to be eligible
for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the
SCR*W program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be
RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCR*WED as many times as the government deems appropriate.

Only persons who have been RAPED can get AIDS (Additional Income for
Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel
Early Severance). Obviously, persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not
be SHAFTED or SCR*WED any further by the government..

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on, will receive as much SHI*
(Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The government
has always prided itself in the amount of SHI* it gives out. Should
you feel that you do not receive enough SHI*, please bring this to the
attention of your local MP. They have been trained to give you all the
SHI* you can handle.
