HAVE YOUR OUT-OF-OFFICE EMAILS ANSWERED BY AN ICELANDIC HORSE

Not since the rabbit with a pancake on its head has the internet had something so perfect for the internet: A horse that answers your out-of-office emails. The Iceland Tourism Board has come up with a gimmick where one of several trained horses will walk across and paw at a giant keyboard, creating an email of random gibberish, that will then be forwarded to anyone who writes you. They call it “outhorsing” instead of outsourcing. To have a horse answer your email:
– Go to OuthorseYourEmail.com.
– Pick one of three beautiful Icelandic horses.
– Enter your name, your vacation days, and your email.
– Here is the message that will be sent: “(YOUR NAME) is out of office. During this vacation, (YOUR NAME) has OutHorsed all work-related emails to an Icelandic horse called Hrímnir frá Hvammi to free up more time for adventure. Here is Hrímnir frá Hvammi’s response:
‘Qwsdcfrtgb fdfg jhlsajf vdpföð lkdsjahg bksdð adæfbnaqerbvui< i98oimdJVJ <0I’
An Icelandic horse really typed that! (YOUR NAME) will return to work on (WHATEVER DAY YOU LIST AS YOUR RETURN).”
The message is accompanied by a video of the horse pawing at the keyboard.
* Of course, you stand the risk of coming back from vacation to find that you’ve been replaced by an Icelandic horse.
* Sure, your company’s stock might be down 35%, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t have fun at work.|
* It may look like gibberish, but that’s actually perfect Icelandic.
* Twice a day, someone has to muck the horse manure off the giant keyboard.
* (Whispering) Shhh … don’t tell the Iceland Tourism Board this isn’t going to make us want to visit Iceland.
