If you haven't already come across this hilarious office prank featuring a clueless secretary looking for her missing cat, you must read it now. The e-mail chain goes back and forth between David Thorne and Shannon Walkley regarding a poster for her missing cat Missy.
Needless to say, Thorne has a little fun with the clueless secretary as he purposely gets her poster ideas misconstrued. The e-mail chain will have you laughing out loud, so I would suggest taking a breather from the office and reading it on your BlackBerry or iPhone.
