"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

This is funny on so many levels. I almost wonder if it was written during the LexCorp Christmas party, and sent by mistake because of the boldness of asking Lex to hire more people (raise staffing 20%!!) to handle his inane naming procedures. I doubt any sober people would be so foolhardy. Of course, Lex might need to replace his top legal department due to the sudden drop in altitude of their corporate jet when they all went on that retreat after the holidays. I love this line: While the senior partners are more than happy to work through Christmas and other assorted holidays, the legal system itself is not. The junior partners have not yet acclimated, although a visit from your assistant would be helpful in motivating them. Who would want to work for such a company?  Is this a reference to Mr. Luthor being the modern day Mr. Scrooge?  very enjoyable!

Lex, don't go up against Trump in the PR department, he'll win hands down!  Thanks for a truly funny memo!

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

I doubt any sober people would be so foolhardy. LOL! I totally see this! And the next morning, the guy from legal opens his email and sees that he drunk-emailed the entire staff. Then he sits up in his chair a bit straighter and pales as he sees Lex marching straight towards his desk.  Funny story! Thanks for posting, Shayne!

I wonder if he'd want to rename The X Files as The Lex Files. Or persuade Metropolis natural history museum to call one of their dinosaurs T Lex...

As funny as the memo was, Shayne, some of the comments are just as good. Thank you for a full bowl-full-of-jelly belly laugh today!
