The Times just ran these pictures side by side. One just won the Cy young award but has been accused of being a stoner. One is a world class runner who’s sex verification has remained ambiguous. One of them I’m pretty sure about…
Reports from the working world
Here’s an actual letter sent to the place I work. Edited to protect the innocent and the guilty.
To whom it may concern,
I recently visited a store here in (Big City, USA) in pursuit of a high quality fountain pen for my wife, seeing that a fountain pen is her preferred writing instrument. So, I looked over a series of pens that she might like and was guided towards your fountain pen. They said it was one of the best. How wrong were they! It is like a fine car with a crappy motor. And now I can’t even find refills for your pen so now it is becoming even crappier. And if (Big City, USA) is too small of a town to carry your products particularly the refills, then who does? Russia?! Is this a hobby for you people? Do you take pride in your work? Can you even write?! Sorry to be so mean but this pen was NOT cheap and now my wife can only use it to pick her nose.
Sincerely,
x.
Ps. Your website sucks too.
fyi- The pen in question takes the most common refill known to man… There was some internal debate as to the best way to respond…

Dad, this is why I need a car. To drive there.
Drive to Arkansas? Are you insane?
Nice picture though…
