It has been folded out of greenpeace leaflets, bible pages (as dished out by the slightly insane screaming evangelists at Grays monument in Newcastle), BNP leaflets, newspapers, corporate memos, bus tickets (It is not void if it is not ripped) and on one memorable occasion a valentines card... anyone can tear up a piece of paper to insult, irritate or amuse but folding a flying pig makes it somehow more personal (especially when done in front of the offending party).
Despite the confontational nature of the above the one that has put me in the most trouble was the latest company mission statement, it was the usual unrealistic twaddle espoused by those in command when cutting over 12,000 from the workforce while expecting those left behind to pick up the slack(efficiancy, challenge, team spirit, empowerment) and even though I spent a lot of effort ensuring the corporate logo was displayed proudly on the pigs rump it appears that my efforts were not appreciated by all.
I still feel it was worth while though as that pig made many people smile at work for the first time in months... and the irrate e@mail from the head of division lifted moral considerably (something which had only been seen by a few dozen people on my floor was now broadcast to the entire office). Still in the future I may be a little more carefull... and I have told people its probably a good time to ensure that the monkeys featuring the heads of department are placed onto the back of a draw for the time being
