Not mine originally, but I've edited this and added a couple of things.
The Rules for November 5th
To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I think
we should develop a list of (a)acceptable celebrations and (b) behaviors we
should probably avoid – at least for the first few days:
1. No crying, hugging or shouting 'Thank you L-rd!' – at least not in public.
2. No high-fives unless the area is clear and there are no witnesses.
3. No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters.
4. No calling in sick on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too many of us don't show up.
5. We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in passing. Just try to keep from grinning too hard.
6. No singing "We've Come This Far By Faith" loudly (it will be acceptable to hum softly).
7. No bringing of barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the
company lunchroom for at least a week (no chittlings at all) This may
make us seem too ethnic.
8. No leaving Kool-Aid packages at the water fountain. This might be a
sign that poor folks might be getting a break through.
9. No 'Cupid Shuffle' during breaks. This could indicate a little too much excitement.
10. Please no "Moving on Up" music. We are going to try to remain humble.
11. No doing the George Jefferson dance unless you're in your office with the door closed.
12. Please try not to yell "BOO-YAH!" Same applies to Dave Chappelle's "BYAAAAH!!"
13. Try to refrain from saying, “I know there’s a G-d, I know
there’s a G-d!” when McCain supporters walk by your office or cube.
14. Attempt to be understanding when McCain supporters are overheard
using Florida Evans' famous words: “Damn, damn, DAMN!!!”
15. Doing the Running Man, Cabbage Patch, or a backhand spring on the highway is 100% okay.
16. No step shows in corporate vestibules at lunch time (applies to Greeks only).
17. No excessive distribution of emails with slideshows of Martin, Malcolm, (optional Kennedy Bros. and Jesus) and Obama.
18.
(On Nov. 5,6,7,8 and until you receive further notice) No jumping ahead
of white folks in grocery store lines because "WE in charge NOW!"19.
No honking of horns with chants of "Obama, Obama, Obama" in the following
places: hospital parking lots, workplace parking lots, fast food
parking lots... Big Lots.20. No running through the streets shouting, "I can see Russia from the 'hood!
21.
For expectant moms: please consider names other than Barack for your
infant sons. However, if you do choose to honor your child with that
name, please observe the following guidelines: DO NOT pair
"Barack" with ANY ghetto fabulous middle or first names
(e.g. Barack
D'Andre Jackson, Jametrius Barack Washington)
No apostrophes (e.g. B'Arack)
NO female derivatives of Barack
(e.g. Barackina, Baracquinequa, Husseinetta, B'rakeeshia)
In fact, Barack derivatives altogether not allowed.
22. Aw heck! Do what you gotta do...this has been a long time coming:)
If I've missed anything, feel free to add to the list. I just want to
make sure we're all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home
on November 5th.
