This note was circulating on another group I belong
to, and it gave me a chuckle

Want to have some fun with the big drug companies?
Put on whatever clothes you have that might be
described as "scruffy," top off your outfit with a
favorite baseball cap, and then drop by the offices of
one of the giant drug firms. What you do then is up to
you, but don't be surprised if security guards give
you the bum's rush before you even reach the
receptionist's desk.
It seems that America's largest drug companies are on
full alert for anyone who fits the description of
documentary filmmaker Michael Moore. For his next film
project Mr. Moore is training his sights on the
questionable relationships between the FDA, drug
giants, HMOs and insurance companies. According to the
Los Angeles Times, several drug companies have
distributed memos to warn their employees that a
"scruffy guy in a baseball cap" might try to get them
to reveal something embarrassing about the drug
industry.
Just one problem. A couple of weeks ago, when Michael
Moore appeared on the Tonight show, he was wearing a
suit, no baseball cap and was clean-shaven.
Revised memo to employees: Be wary of a scruffy guy in
a baseball cap who may be disguised as a not scruffy
guy not wearing a baseball cap.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter a bit if no one from the
drug industry agrees to talk to Mr. Moore. As we've
seen over the past few years, many of the
indiscretions of that industry have been shockingly
transparent, so I'm pretty sure that Moore isn't going
to come away empty-handed.
