Priceless…

Read the following explanation before looking at the picture!

Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much less have a clue about reading English.

So, how do a group of Syrian protest leaders create the most impact with their signs by having the standard ‘Death To Americans’(etc..) slogans printed in English?Answer:

They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to translate and write their statements into English.However, in this case, they were unaware that the ‘civilian’ insurance company employee hired for the job was a retired US Navy Chief! Obviously, the results were PRICELESS!

Awesome email chain from the master of email chain comedy, David Thorne.

Hi

I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

Missy

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone… possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out “Shannon, where are you?”

Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.

Regards, David.

I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed.

Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days?

I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.
