Karate Cat
Someone at one of their firms asked for a calendar with cats performing karate, and this copy manager went above and beyond to satisfy them. Someone informed said copy manager that they wanted a calendar featuring cats doing karate. Most likely as a joke. On the other hand, the copy manager took the request very seriously and delivered it. He was taken aback when this person discovered an actual calendar with karate-chopping felines.
It’s sometimes tough to tell if someone is sincere or joking when communicating through email. This copy manager took this employee’s suggestion somewhat too seriously. Of course, you can’t detect inflection or emotion in the virtual world. Fortunately, they got the ideal calendar for marking the year.
