Another associate — this one a certain Patrick Smith at Clifford Chance — meant to send a message to a friend at another firm in response to an email announcing drinks to mark his departure from the firm. Instead, he sent the following:
�Dude, [name of female] wants some of that double penetration action, so let me know when you and the old horse fat are around.�
The Observer helpfully explains that the girl is thought to be a Japanese lawyer from a different firm and that “horse fat” is a penis reference.
Unfortunately, instead of simply replying to [friend Venn] King, Smith, making an error that will haunt him forever, clicked �reply to all�. Thirty people received the e-mail, and it has now been forwarded worldwide.
It is likely that Venn King had an embarrassing last day at work, but Patrick Smith has found himself in more trouble. A spokesman for Clifford Chance confirmed to the Observer that he has been suspended.
D’oh! Read the rest here from something called “Out-Law.com.”
