It could be worse

Dear People of the United Kingdom

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
SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be
RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED 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 SCREWED any further by the government.

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

Sincerely,

Gordon Brown

haha very good.
