Why We're In Trouble, Part II

A letter a friend of mine received from a job applicant, with her comments in italics.

Dear Ms. Potential Employer:

okay, good start

You told me to drop you a line when I was in town. Here then is that line.

oh good!

Is there someone able to speak with me, via email or in person, about those capacites in which I might be able to help?

try "I am available to meet with you at your convenience," dipshit

(For more on that score, see my attached resume.)

oooh! oh boy! for more on that score! how witty! how frickin' creative! you're hired!

I have a goodly amount of time to dedicate to you.
