We’ve been notified by Building Security that there have been 4 suspected terrorists working at our office. Three of the four have been apprehended: Bin Sleepin, Bin Loafin, and Bin Drinkin have been taken into custody.

Security advised us that they could find no one fitting the description of the fourth cell member, Bin Workin, in the office. Police are confident that anyone who looks like Bin Workin will be very easy to spot.

Thank You,
Security
