Things I am not allowed to do while working for a multinational bank:

1. No quotes from Karl Marx in my email signature block, even for internal emails.
2. No quotes from Adam Smith either.
3. Also no Latin mottos that are non-obvious. In fact, just use the default .sig.
4. People from England get confused when told to press the "pound" key on their telephones. It took a moment to realize why.
   
5. When a malfunctioning alarm panel calls 911 five times in a row, the police don't want to hear jokes.
6. Any story that begins "So no shit, there I was, in..." shall be considered inappropriate for work.
7. I will walk the extra 20 yards to the escalator that is already going the direction I want to go. I will not use my override to reverse the direction of the nearest escalator.
8. Techniques used to calm freaking-out Marines are not to be used to calm freaking-out bank tellers.
