Wiggly Product Consequence : WWE 10/24/12...

Imagine a bright sunny morning digging around and finding 9 inches. Watch it wiggle and imagine later making that perfect catch. Many testimonials of satisfaction have poured in and most got a bigger rod to lure them in from this miracle product.

Since your company makes finely crafted Fishing Rods, Gear and Accessories, my product would please many anglers increasing sales and market share. I am sending several packets of product. I hope you will test it, but I suggest on at least five lawns.

Most worms grow between 9 ~ 10 inches and are fierce fighters that wiggle vigorously and attract fish quite quickly. I hope to be hearing from you soon. Happy fishing.

Four months passed and finally the company sent me an urgent message. I tore the letter open and could not believe what it read.

Destroy all samples you have immediately. The EPA has told us they will send an agent for your compliance. Do Not Delay. Destroy your samples immediately!
Enjoy the outdoors, and (signature).

I thought this a prank letter until I saw ‘Breaking News’ with live coverage of giant earthworms surrounding a pizza delivery vehicle. I looked at the postage city and that’s when I switched channels and sang along with The Patty Duke theme song.

Wriggling on a hook line and sinker - enjoy the fishing :-)

It's better than having a talking fish on the wall.
Thank you.

Fun, Bill.
One of our naturalists claims that angle worms are actually an invasive species and upset the subterranean ecology. I look forward to the improving the tilth of my garden topsoil.

William Dotani Oct 29, 2012, 1:32am UTC

I guess the Elfs upset, eh. They might be invasive, but I've never heard an angler or a fish say ought.
Thank you.

OMG, from the first paragraph, I thought this was another ED commercial!

William Dotani Oct 29, 2012, 1:33am UTC

Mr. ED was actually a filly, so this did not apply.
Thank you.

Keep those giant worms of yours away from my dandelions, :) by order of the Queen, scary commercial William, love, Elsie

William Dotani Oct 29, 2012, 1:34am UTC

Dandelions snack food for them.
Thank you.
Sweet dreams.

Were they eating the pizza, the delivery driver or the truck?

William Dotani Oct 29, 2012, 1:35am UTC

I think they were burrowing for fun inside the crust.
Thank you.

Sheila Deeth Oct 30, 2012, 12:35am UTC

Perhaps they were stuffed crust pizzas. Or perhaps they weren't and only became stuffed crust pizzas after being burrowed.

Pam Brittain Oct 30, 2012, 1:20pm UTC

That's disgusting, Sheila. You have a way of using few words to put a very vivid picture in my head.

William Dotani Nov 3, 2012, 4:59am UTC

I believe this from Sheila's quick lunch recipe book. LOL.

"Patty Duke?" I'm betting very few Gatherers even know who she is, let alone what her theme song was. Nicely written and a lot of fun to read.

William Dotani Oct 29, 2012, 1:40am UTC

Maybe I should have said the Spongebob theme song.
Actually, I like people learning about culture in my work.
Thank you.

Pam Brittain Oct 30, 2012, 1:20pm UTC

Hey, I loved Patty Duke.

William Dotani Oct 31, 2012, 4:17am UTC

but Patty loves to rock n roll, a hot dog makes her loose control...

TV theme songs once were nice Sing Along With Mitch tunes.

(Gather is getting way too slow!)
