Thread Name: BS: Silly/Stupid Product Descriptions
Subject: RE: BS: Silly/Stupid Product Descriptions
this reminded me of a story that happened in my brothers printing business - they had sent a statement to the Univ of BC dept of physiology for an outstanding invoice (it was over 60days ) and the statement says over 30, over 60 over 90. (on the statement my brother highlighted the term over 60) It was addressed to a Dr. Jones. (not his real name) Well they received a letter from the Dr.'s secretary the overall tone was a little snotty, and said to the effect. Please send a copy of the invoice for this amount as we do not know what this is for. They had enclosed the original statement. The letter ended by saying. "By the way, for your information, Dr. Jones was born in 1942 and is definitely not over sixty."

what a hoot.
