I just received this personalized letter in a large, fluorescent orange envelope:
--WILL YOU DO US A FAVOR AND TEST TOOLS?--
Dear Kate,
Would you mind very much if I sent you a free circular saw to use? How about a free cordless drill? All I'm going to ask in return is for you to fill out a brief questionnaire on how well the handyman product I sent you performed.
Please don't delay. Return the enclosed RSVP today.

Dear Larry Okrend,
I am flattered by your confidence in my handyman abilities; as you say, it's true that I am known among my family and friends as an 'outstanding handyman'!
I do have one concern, however. In the event that your circular saw does not perform as intended, and hacks off my right arm, I will be unable to fill out your questionnaire, and you will not receive your desired feedback. In that situation, is there a telephone number at which I can reach you to file my report?
I wish you luck in your endeavors, and look forward to receiving my free tools.
Sincerely,
Kate
About Me

- I'm just like everyone else; a mass of contradictions.... I want things to go my way, but I'm often disappointed by the outcome when they do. I love solitude, but choose to spend most of my time with people. I long for, but am terrified of, permanence. Learning to embrace (or at least endure) loss of any kind is my greatest challenge. I live in Oneonta with my good friend Joel, my ex-boyfriend's cat, Clovis, and a ton of plants.

Brilliant. Your line about the circulra saw hacking off your arm was really funny. I just imagined a scene from Monty Python.
