Eric, did you wait until about 3 minutes after Christmas ended to post this?
Good for you.

The title of this song reminds me of a story. In the early '90s I used to work for a company called Neodata (now called Kable Media Sevices), and they're in the business of subscription fulfillment. They handle all databases and subscription information for scores of magazines, such as US News & World Report, Better Homes & Gardens, Cat Fancy, etc. They're the biggest company at what they do, and when I worked there they were responsible for 2% of all the mail going out in the US. US mail volume is around 150 - 200 billion pieces per year, so you do the math.

Anyway, it is customary for many people to buy friends or family members magazine subscriptions for gifts, and when people did this we'd send out a little card stating that so-and-so bought you a gift subscription to this magazine, and then end it with 'Merry Christmas'. All this was done through an automated computerized process, of course. WELL, there was a disgruntled employee in the employ of Neodata at the time, and so to vent his spleen at the man he decided to insert a special word between 'Merry' and 'Christmas' on some of these little gift cards. Seventeen THOUSAND of them, to be precise. Can you guess that special word?

Needless to say our call center had to field irate calls for weeks after that, with the poor customer service reps (CSRs) having to explain countless times a day that they were sorry, and that it happened because of a disgruntled employee, yadda, yadda, yadda. Still, even some of the CSRs had a good laugh about it. It WAS funny, after all. I know that if I got a gift card with a computer printout that said 'Merry Fucking Christmas' I'd be laughing my ass off.

The guy who did it got fired, of course, but it's safe to say that he had the last laugh.

Merry Fucking Xmas, from the silly Middle East
