The first half was good, but then he lost his art. I also thought the same thing about the Jewish sperm one.

I don't have this guy's talent, but here's an email exchange I initiated a few years ago during a slow day at work. We had ordered chinese for lunch, and I had grabbed an extra fortune cookie from the break room and found an ad for a local company inside. I checked out their website and sent this email to the President, VP, etc:
Quote:
ME: Good afternoon, I just opened my fortune cookie to find an advertisement for your company inside, rather than a fortune. While I am certain that you provide excellent IT solutions, I currently have no need for IT solutions, but was very much looking forward to my fortune after enjoying a tasty Chinese lunch. Perhaps an acceptable solution in the future would be to have your ad on one side of the paper and a fortune on the other. You are all no doubt very busy, but if one of you could please provide me with a fortune I would very much appreciate it, and I will keep your company in mind should I require IT solutions in the future. Have a great day, dcg PS The fortune cookie was delicious.
Quote:
LANCE: dcg, 1st let me say I am very happy you enjoyed the fortune cookie. I am not sure you have ever attended a tradeshow before. This is for advertising not because we felt the need to just feed you. I assure you that if you PAY for Chinese food and get fortune cookies you will get a fortune. I find your email actually very disturbing....I appreciate your feedback on how we should advertise and maybe you should focus your energy into working instead of wasting a vendors time with this silly email? I have a fortune for you...ONE WHO WORKS IS ONE WHO MAKES MONEY. Lance
Quote:
ME: Lance, Thank you for the quick reply. I can see that the employees of Company XYZ are a hard working, dedicated bunch. Teresa is lucky to have folks like you on her team! I think there may be a mixup here. I am a bit confused by your comment regarding the trade show...I did not receive the fortune cookie at a trade show, but rather with my lunch which was delivered from the local Chinese restaurant, which I can assure you I did pay for. I think perhaps these cookies are not being distributed at the locations which you specified. I can assure you that I do work and make money, but I appreciate your taking the time to give me a fortune. Have a great day Lance, dcg
Quote:
LANCE: I am curious why you havent complained to the chinese resturant? Or did they kick you out? I own the company....and stop wasting my time before I turn this over to my lawyer. I think you are an idiot!
Quote:
ME: Lance, I'm not sure why you find it necessary to call me an idiot. I think you may be incorrect about owning the company. On the website, it says Teresa is the President, and you are the Vice President. I am assuming she is your wife? I think perhaps you should check with her to see if you really do own this company, or if she is just being polite and telling you that. As far as I know, usually the President is higher up than the Vice President. Maybe there is just a mixup on your website, which would be ironic, given that you are an IT company.
Quote:
LANCE: Oh sorry your so right...my stupid!
At this point I ran into one of the IT guys, who mentioned that they had attended a trade show earlier in the day and grabbed a bunch of extra fortune cookies from a vendor display. I felt bad enough not to bother Lance any more. But not bad enough to apologize.
