Walk with a Doc Newsletter
May 25th, 2012
Greetings!

Namaste my good friend. How's your week been? Really? That's great. Well, since you brought up honey badgers. Have you ever wondered why everyone's been so high on the honey badger this past year? It might be worth your while to do a little research. The WNSC (Walk Newsletter Screening Committee) has disabled any linkage here, but if it was me, why I might start looking for a short video. One with over 45 million hits. But, hmmm, where would I find it? (Tapping finger) If only there was a popular internet channel that had short videos that were too inappropriate for newsletters?

 
Calcium and the Heart
Not so fast..

The publication of this study has created many questions in the office this week.

My personal take is why not get all the calcium you need from food (milk, yogurt, cheese, (certain) vegetables, etc.) While the data released this week is not absolutely convincing, it's yet one more example that shows taking supplements may not be the best approach.

Please go to the end of the article for a great link to NIH's page on calcium supplementation.
Coming Clean
WWAD Policy Change

Let's first say, this is not only upsetting to the hundreds of people who have utilized our shipping warehouse bathroom, this also upsets us, the Walk Administration, and places us in a horrible position.

 

Careful analysis of ISF (Internal Surveillance Footage) makes us recently aware of something that unfortunately has been transpiring at WWAD World HQ since early November 2011.  

 

In turns out, the boys in Shipping were under the impression that Walk employees were leaving the office and going over to the warehouse bathroom to take care of business.    

Will Shanahan, not acting alone, devised a box to "have fun" with the WWAD staff. This contraption is best described as a 4x4 foot black 'pseudo-scoreboard' with big white letters reading GUEST. It has multiple other components: A timer, the #1 or #2, and a smiley face or a frown face - all in large red LED lights, and a bullhorn speaker mounted on top.  

Recorded footage shows that on November 3rd, 2011, 2 employees (Vern and Johnathan) hoisted the contraption over the WWAD Shipping Warehouse's 1st floor unisex bathroom.  

The setup was arranged in a manner that when the bathroom door closes, the timer is activated, and a bright #1 is illuminated. The timer would begin counting down, starting at 3 minutes. If the timer were to hit 3 minutes before either (1) the sink faucet is activated or (2) the door opened, a recording of John Belushi screaming "Cannonball!"is triggered.  This scream is followed by the recorded sound of a large splash. The scoreboard #1 would then click over to '#2' and a frown face would appear over the door - once again, visible to all on the floor.  (They compiled metrics indicating that if you stayed in the restroom > 3 minutes, there was a 97% chance you were doing #2.)  

Apparently when shipping employees throughout the warehouse heard "Cannonball!", they would leave their post, congregate in a semi-circle around the bathroom door and begin clapping as the door was opened.  

While creative, clever, and effective (analysis of the footage shows no one ever caught doing #2 returned); we of course find their collective actions reprehensible.  

So, as of June 1st, 2012, The Official Walk with a Doc Code of Bylaws Regulation Handbook includes Amendment 27a, which reads:  

"WWAD strongly discourages the use of timing devices to alter the excretionary habits of fellow employees at WWAD World HQ and its' satellite offices"  

We, the Walk Administration, are deeply apologetic to those have received a standing ovation.
