Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

There's a brand of smoothies in the UK which has such gems
on their packaging as
"Contents may separate*"
[and @ the bottom of the label]
"* But mummy still loves daddy"

Mind you, I do know a journalist who once made up a story
about a library near London having its aquisition budget
cut, just so he could put this headline in the newspaper in
question:
"Book lack in Ongar"

Best headline I ever wrote (on a student newspaper) was
where a bunch of anarchist protesters invaded the stage
in the Edinburgh student theatre (the theatre's name is
The Bedlam). The headline was
"Bedlam Anarchy Chaos"

Cheers
Martin

In a similar vein - I ordered some promos from Potlatch Papers (great stuff
btw! http://www.potlatchpaper.com/service/order_form.htm) and this was
their Thank You page :

"Got your order. Check. Roger Wilco. Razamatazz. In a mere five to ten
working days, or approximately the time it takes for a mature bull elk to
come down from its winter range, you'll have your pile o' samples. Say
thank you. Louder. You're welcome."

Ya gotta love companies that *do* have a sense of humour!
