One of my favorites was sending out an e-mail to our entire 200 person office, ostensibly from someone trustworthy in Operations, announcing a change in smoking policy. The memo noted that, due to rising concerns over second hand smoke, when people smoked in the area outside the front doors, they would henceforth need to wear a smoking banner, to alert their fellow employees who might need to pass. Smoking banners, similar to bike flags, would be available to borrow from the front desk, or you could purchase your own for $7. They included a handy clip which could attach the smoking banner to your belt. This elicited some very amusing reactions.
