Re: Billing

My account statement says I did not receive the promotional discount when I purchased the "Best of the Gong Show" DVD collection. I can't go to the Staples in Abbottabad and I don't want some goofball FedEx guy collecting my DNA when he picks it up at my compound. (BTW--is it true those dorks get laid a lot because of their cool uniforms?)

Issue a credit memo or die the death of a thousand dogs.

Also, you say you offer free shipping--how come I never qualify for it?

Death to America, have a nice day.

Re: Outrage!

I executed a trade sending Shahid Afridi from my team, Destroyers of the West, to "cricketdog" in exchange for Misbah Ul-Haq of Mohammed's Mudcats. Due to server error the email was not transmitted until after the deadline and now "cricketdog" refuses to complete the deal. Misbah has gone on a tear, averaging 13.54 wickets before the All-Star Break!  If this is the kind of ethics I can expect from your site, refund my entry fee or I will slam you in a tape to be released to millions of followers worldwide.

Yours till the establishment of a world-wide caliphate under sharia.

Re:  Tiki Torches

I was given an estimated arrival date of April 29th for the "Tiki-style" patio torches I ordered from the Spring catalog, but no sign of them. Summer cookout season is almost here--please let me know when I can expect them.

What would you recommend to get stuffed grape leaves out of your taupe sectional? It was very expensive--hate to think of four grand down the drain just because my buddy Zawahiri is a klutz.

Re: Donation

This will confirm that I’m making a gift to King Abdulaziz U at the "Martyr's Club" level. I understand I will receive a KAU blanket and fleece pullover in red (Men's XXL).

Just a question--the CIA has been looking me for a decade.  How did you track me down?

Re: Winking!

Hotburqa--

Thanks for going off-line.  I hate monthly fees, and unless you go "Gold" level you can't chat!

I sense chemistry between us--hope you do! I have room in my life for a fourth woman in my spacious compound, where Diet Coke flows like water and every wife gets her own bidet.  Love to meet in person, but can't travel. Would you come to my place some night? I promise "four on the floor and all hands on deck"--no petting on the first date for this traditional guy!

Think about it--I won't be hurt if you say no. The first time!

Got2go--I hear somebody at the door.
