Managing Director messing with me via email?

My MD emailed me regarding a buyers list I made for a deal, and he emailed me regarding one of the potential buyers bio's on their company's website. He cropped the picture out into a picture of Kermit the Frog, and said that I need to put some thought into how I do my work.

Clearly this is a joke as it was cc'ed to everyone in the group. How should I respond in a respectful yet clever way?

 

Unless you are naturally a funny guy i would not reply. Nothing worse than killing a good (snr's banter is always "good") bit of banter with a really average response.

Best Response

Crop a picture of Ms Piggy and put it onto the face of Ned Beatty in this scene from "Deliverance".

Send him the video along with the message:

"If you call me out like that in front of everyone again, I'll make you squeal like a pig.

Love

Kermit".

cc the entire bank.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
