WHAT'S WRONG WITH "GOOD LUCK"?

Our company moved buildings last weekend. Just had this drop into my inbox.

"[Big Boss] invites you to join the pig cutting ceremony at the trading floor to wish us prosperity in this new office."

Pig cutting?????????????????????????????????????????????????

And Big Boss is a 100% English gweilo. Imagine if he'd been Chinese? What the hell would they have been cutting then?

It's on at 11.30 - I shall report back with news.


UPDATE

It really was a pig. A huge barbecued pig. Which had to be cut down the middle by Big Boss with a ruddy great cleaver.

And Big Boss really is Jewish and so isn't allowed to touch pork.

He did a good job though - he held the cleaver and got someone else to smack it on the back to get through the crisp skin.

Cha siu for lunch I think.
