Just for Laughs: Miscommunication

Memo from CEO to Manager:

Today at 11 o'clock there will be a total eclipse of the sun.
This is when the sun disappears behind the moon for two minutes.
As this is something that cannot be seen everyday, time will be
allowed for employees to view the eclipse in the parking lot.
Staff should meet in the lot at ten to eleven, when I deliver a
short speech introducing the eclipse,and giving some background
information.

Safety goggles will be made available at a small cost.

Memo from Manager to Department Head:

Today at ten to eleven, all staff should meet in the car park.
This will be followed by a total eclipse of the sun, which will
appear for two minutes.

For a moderate cost, this will be made safe with goggles.
The CEO will deliver a short speech beforehand to give us all
some information.

This is not something that can be seen everyday.

Memo from Department Manager to Floor Manager:

The CEO will today deliver a short speech to make the sun
disappear for two minutes in the form of an eclipse.

This is something that cannot be seen everyday,so staff will
meet in the car park at ten or eleven.

This will be safe, if you will pay a moderate cost.

Memo from Floor Manager to Supervisor:

Ten to eleven staff are to go to the car park, where the CEO
will eclipse the sun for two minutes.

This doesn't happen everyday.

It will be safe and as usual it will cost you.

Memo from Supervisor to Staff:

Some staff will go to the car park today to see the CEO disappear.

It is a pity this doesn't happen everyday.
