Truly, Madly, Grumpy Drop Zone

Someone in the area is making T-shirts with logos like;

• Truly, Madly, Grumpy, and
  
• I’m Hung Like A Parliament.
  

I particularly like this one.

I’m somewhat concerned about some signs near the local primary school.


Don’t ask why, but I have images of hordes of school kids dropping out of the skies on parachutes from a flight of Hercules C130 transports.

Hello Folly,

I'd love the opportunity to talk to you about your resume! Your credentials are very impressive, your background and track record closely resemble some other highly successful individuals. We have worked with many such professionals and helped them realize their dreams to become successful entrepreneurs. Based on your resume, I can see that you are quite accomplished in your field and may welcome the chance to apply your expertise in a more entrepreneurial setting.

Recession has touched us all, but some industries have turned it into a business growth opportunity. Franchising is one industry where success, profitability and economic stability have actually made incremental strides. My role is to carefully select and personally invite qualified individuals to explore franchising in all its potential and you fit the profile.

With your background in management and leadership positions adding weight to your credentials, I am confident that you are likely a great fit. We know you have the initiative, skills and educational qualifications that are the building blocks of a successful business. Finding the missing link - the right franchise opportunity - will be a breeze with our help and advice. The research, qualification and application services I provide costs you absolutely nothing.

Imagine the possibility of applying your experience in a business of your own, increasing your earning potential, gaining the flexibility of working your own hours in a career you enjoy and more importantly never having to worry about losing your job again. It doesn't have to be a pipe dream anymore! Here's a chance at work-life balance like never before!

You have so carefully selected me that you don't even know my name and have addressed me as my postal address house name – and only half of it at that.

Now bugger off!
