| TO: Bob FROM: Mr. Stupid RE: Ear Clip I have decided, after long consideration, to offer the Ear Clip to our Stupid.com customers. I know how fond you are of this product, and we shall see if it sells well on our website. I have to agree that a paper fastener in the shape of a human ear is quite unusual. The fact that it is life-size and flesh-colored only adds to its appeal. In fact I like it so much, I have decided to dispense with your Christmas Bonus to purchase additional quantities of Ear Clips. And though you may not have coal to heat your stove this Christmas Eve, at least you'll be warmed by the satisfaction of knowing you helped bring a really stupid product to market. Well done. Sincerely, M. Stupid |
