Funny - Send Manatees to Fat Camp
By Steve Poland • September 24, 2007
My buddy Mike has only literally sent me 3 emails in the past 10 years (literally, since 1996 or 1997) and has been working at Regal Cinemas for the past 10 years. So needless to say, I don’t get to see his writing all that often — like, ever. He just did a reply-all to an email I had sent to some friends — close and not-so-close. He doesn’t even know the majority of these people.
Honestly, the guy is so frickin funny, I don’t know why he’s wasting this talent — he needs to be writing for a living:
I would like to thank everyone for giving me the time to talk with them about a very serious matter. In our own oceans we are seeing an ever increasing number of overweight manatees. In fact, in the last government survey, it was found that fifty-eight percent of manatees are obese. I am sure at this point you are asking yourself, what can I do to help? Well random person, there is a lot that you and I can do to help. The NAAOM, or the national association for the advancement of obese manatees, is raising money to help send manatees to fat camp. At these camps manatees will participate in exercises to not only lose weight but to also improve their self-esteem. Please let me know of how much you are willing to help this amazing cause. We must act before it becomes too late.
thanks for your time,
Fred Griffin
