I'm sorry I almost hit your mule yesterday, but driving in rush hour traffic without turn signals is risky business.

Love,
Julio Jones

Dear Guy Who Hit On Me at Peet's,

Thanks for the ego boost. You were especially cute once I noticed the fanny pack. And the molester van with paintings on the side really made me want to give you my number.

Making rude comments in response to my using "Starbucks" terms such as "grande" and "frappaccino" is not exactly going to win over my business.

I know you think the commercials with you and your family of arian children are endearing and sweet, but they're actually just terrifying.
