Dear Anonymous Employee,

Thank you for making my morning special. I laughed and almost vomited when I say a peach pit sitting on top of the paper towels in the company bathroom trash can.

Laughed because....what is that little guy doing there?
Vomited because....who would actually devour a peach while performing a bathroom only activity. That requires a lot of hand-mouth coordination and at least a paper towel or two.

Love,
Jeremy

Dear Dallas TV Networks,

Under what criteria is the announcement that Superbowl 2011 will be hosted in Dallas worthy of a Special Report and therefore worthy of interrupting 45 minutes of my soap opera???

Dear All Male Occupants of the Frat House Down The Street From My Apartment,

When I left for work the morning of Cinco de Mayo, you all looked very dapper in your bow ties and loafers while standing around in your front yard drinking. When I returned that afternoon, you looked equally impressive shirtless and still going strong on those kegs. I am sure any female presence would have ruined the entire experience.

Love,
Michael

Dear Pubescent, Lanky And Pimply High Schooler @ EdgeFest in Frisco, TX 4/15,

Carrying around and flashing a small white dry erase board with "Show me your BOOBS!" written on it just proves how much game you don't have. Sadly, you never will if you've started resorting to these tactics, but I commend you on trying. Add alcohol in your later years and move to New Orleans and maybe, JUST maybe, you'll get your wish.

Love,
Christian

Dear Wife That I Heard Breaking Wind From The Other Room This Morning,

Dear Ever So Delicate Plastic Grocery Sack That Broke,

Thanks for breaking and therefore making my job easier when you sent 350 pieces of paper stating, "Keep Mississippi Clean - Don't Litter" flying all over a huge parking lot. This not only gives a new meaning to the term "flyers", but it also makes me a hypocrite.

Love,
Kat

Dear Bouncer,

I am no longer thankful that you accepted my fake ID. Did you really think I was 23? Honestly.

Dear Drunk Guy In The Maroon Hat And Blue Plaid Shirt,

Next time yuo try to hit on girls at a concert, here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Only introduce yourself once.
2. Try to keep from tipping over (like a cow)
3. Sticking a beer bottle in a girl's face will not increase your chances of anything except continuing to be ignored.
4. If a girl is ignoring your advances, it's not going to help you at all to ask her why she hates you.
5. If at first you don't succeed, try again on a sober day.

Love,
Jen

Dear Jeans,

Really? Was it necessary to rip open when I bent over?

Dear Man Who Sat Next To Me On The Plane,

When you dropped your Xanax, asked me to get your imaginary book called "3 Ways To Avoid The FBI" and then spilled Coke all over me becuase you thought there were snakes on the plan, I thought three things:

1. Don't worry, I don't need an apology. I like walking aroudn during my layover with a wet butt.

2. Samuel L. Jackson will be hearing from me.

3. Please take your Xanax BEFORE you get on the plane. Passengers everywhere will be thankful.

Love,
Crockett
