Memorandumb

From: Human Resources Dept. – a division of HP Primate Services

Topic: Hiring Procedures

Attention: Hiring Supervisors

Security Level: Eyes only. Do not circulate or copy document. Especially no copying since even we can’t afford our own ink cartridges.

Attention Hiring Supervisors,

In an effort to ensure a high-caliber workforce (high-caliber in terms of achievement and not weaponry), Hewlett-Packard’s Human Resources Dept. (or HP’s HR) has created this determinative questionnaire to screen prospective litigants employees for suitability. Applicants must answer all questions, after which they can expect to have their wallet returned.

This is a confidential and proprietary document and as such no photocopies or facsimiles are allowed to circulate outside the HP Compound or to anyone with the last name of Snowden. Please have the applicant surrender all materials upon completion of this document, including the special crayon.

Talking Points

Welcome the applicant and put them at ease by providing them a complimentary bottle of water (from which you will lift fingerprints and retrieve saliva-based DNA). Inform them that the entire process takes less time than a colonoscopy and is far less invasive (providing they’re cooperative).

Encourage them to think of the HP chaperone holding their personal effects as just a big friendly elf there to protect them. Once they answer everything on the form completely, release them to the Reeducation Complex for indoctrination or out-processing, depending on how they answered. Assure them there are no wrong answers, but that evasive answers are viewed as insults by our bouncers chaperones.

Good Luck and please impress upon our future employee that dishonesty will only earn them an armband and segregation from the rest of the population.

Please find 2 applicant documents below:

• Standard Disclaimer with job description
• A sample Applicant Information Form filled out by current employee David Hardiman, who has since been promoted to our Ivory Tusk Trading Dept.

The chip-embedded crayon will be sent under separate cover.

Thank you very much. Your cooperation is not only appreciated, it’s mandatory.

No way. I would use a more environmentally friendly material than Tupperware. So, strictly speaking, no I guess.

I’m anemic from all the bloodletting, plus Ursula won’t take my calls.
