Bold and Italics

Brother 1: I wish I had one of those "out of the office" signs for my desk. One written in italics.

Me: Why italics?

Brother 1: So people would have to read it in a really high pitched voice. (squeeking) "Brother 1 is out of the office right now!!!" Oh! It could be in bold too!! Then people would have to scream in their high pitched voice!
