thinking about my doorbell

Jess on November 8, 2005

i work at the cap-j, right? and we have a tendency to get bizarre correspondance, usually in the form of letters and phone calls, from our devoted fans… i think today we got my favorite ever. it was a fax. that becomes important later. anyway, this man sent us a several-paragraph letter about how the other day we printed the jump to a page 1 article on page 2 of the same section and so now he wants to send the article to his friend and he can’t because it spills over onto the other side. he would just make a copy, he says, but his is broken and the one at dillons on huntoon (we call this dillons “ghetto dillons” and everyone does and has for years) is also out of commission. now remember that he is FAXING us this letter. he also TYPED the letter. Why doesn’t he just FAX the article to his friend? or perhaps he could cut it out in a weird pattern. Maybe there is even an option of buying a second paper. Who knows? The best part of this whole thing is one sentence. “This is not the biggest problem I’m facing right now.” Thanks, sir. I’m glad it’s not. Oh man. I hope he gets this whole thing worked out.

    things like that make me totally miss c-j. if you ever get the chance, root through the rejected letters to the editor pile. it’s like a comedy goldmine.

    Guarantee you that guy plays golf at Lake Shawnee and has driven me to the point of driving a golf tee through his forehead. People are not smart.
