Thanks for the Memos

Some time ago, about 1985, someone sent a memo from a hospital pathology unit, which described the conversion of the men's toilet into a doctor's office and the domino effect it had on the elevator's transformation into the autopsy dressing room. Needless to say, I was hooked: "Thanks for the Memos" was born.

Since that fateful moment I have received (which is not to say kept, as it quickly begins to get ridiculous) some six or seven thousand memos. This section is dedicated to the pursuit of memos. Browse our offerings and be sure to send us your own additions.

Scheduled Aging
June 10, 2000

Per usual, you grew one year older on your birthday. Unfortunately, according to our tables your aging did not occur on schedule.....

Amtrak - Customer service is ready to help you! And remember, the time is as it is at that time....

It was a great initial public offering, but we think if we change our business from ostrich farming to telecommunications, we’ll do even better...

Hear the memo from this week's show.
