Dear Penni,

Please see the quote from the shipping company included in this email.

Their total shipping cost is $6,550.50.

It's not my place to say, but I believe there are other companies that may offer better rates. Especially since this order will be going to an orphanage. I know of a shipping company out of Blue Polyp, Georgia that could beat West End's price by 15%.

Also, if you haven't ordered razor wire to top off the fence, please note that we carry it. With our razor wire you never need fear that any of the children would ever escape. You would only lose one or two ambitious young run-aways shredded on this fence to deter any other attempts.

Please let me know. It's $4.00 per foot.

Thank you,

Dear Penni,

Material Cost: $11,550.00
Shipping Costs: $6,550.50

Your total cost is $18,100.50

Please excuse my next attempt at "cross-selling" but I would be reprimanded by my superiors for not trying to sell you something else.

Vladdio Indestructible Fence Co. has a sister company which sells SUN SCREEN. Being as this fence order is going to Ghana, I imagine that a lot of sun screen is used there. I can get you a 55 gallon barrel of our best selling sunscreen, "The Blister-Blaster" for only $1,760.00. AND I'll throw in 5 gallons of genuine Backwoods Georgian Moonshine free! (My own pappy makes it. It'll take the rust right off of an anchor, it you decide not to drink it.)

Please consider this offer.

Thank you,

Dear Penni,

I'm afraid I'm forbidden to give out my phone number to customers who order less than $13,000.00 worth of product.

The owner, Mr. Zanzibar Orangestump, saves money in every way he can. And he insists that all of his sales people use email exclusively since it is free to use. I was hoping that you might buy some Sun Screen. In that way I could maybe convince him to let me use the phone. Now, instead, I will probably be beaten about the face. But don't worry. I'm used to it. And besides, it's my own fault. I should have given you a higher price for the fence at the outset. It's just that I had a sister named Penni and I once worked for a baker and - I know it sounds dumb - I felt a certain connection to you. My sister died in a freak bowling accident. I still grieve.

Please let me know the payment arrangements.

Thank you,

Dear Penni,

Thank you so much for getting back to me with your order.

Mr. Orangestump was so angry with me for not closing the sale right away that he beat me with a candlestick. It nearly ripped off one of my ears. But that's not why I can't give your our telephone number. It's because you didn't order $13,000 worth of material.

If you could please, PLEASE! order at least $1,450.00 of something else from me, I could surely speak to you on the phone. How about some fanork?

I can double the amount of fanork for the same price: $1,500.00

Please write back to me and say in your email that you would really like to order 50 gallons of FANORK. (I'll make sure you get 100 gallons!)

If you do this, the total will be $13,050.00. Then the order can go through, I can speak to you over the phone, and Mr. Orangestump might not hit me again.

Thank you.

Ms. Penni Baker,

It has come to my attention that one of our employees, Virgil Wilcox, arranged to ship you 100 gallons of fanork for the price of 50 gallons ($1,500).

I have long suspected that Mr. Wilcox has been making special sale prices to customers without the consent of his superiors. Please note that here at Vladdio Indestructible Fence Co. we regard such behavior as shady at best. And accessories to this criminal activity are beneath our contempt, and are liable for prosecution.

I am not accusing you of being that accessory. However I need to know from you that you expect to receive only 50 gallons of fanork.

Please state in you response email that you ordered only 50 gallons of fanork and you never intended to receive more than the amount ordered.

You will, herein, be dealing with me personally. Mr. Wilcox is even now being escorted to the police station for questioning. (Actually, he is first making a stop at the hospital. It seems that he fell down two flights of stairs earlier today and nearly ripped off his own ear.)

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Ms. Baker,

As much as I would hate losing a sale, I must first have your word that you are not complicit in the possible theft of an additional 50 gallons of fanork.

Once you have stated that with certainty in your response email I will be happy to give you our office phone number. In fact I would be glad to hear from you directly and I will give you my personal phone number.

Therefore, please state that you are not involved in a conspiracy to steal 50 gallons of fanork.

Ms. Baker,

I have contracted with a private investigator who is now looking into this matter. I have also been in touch with the authorities regarding bringing criminal charges against my former employee, Virgil Wilcox, as well as others who might have been involved.

I suggest that you get legal representation for yourself as this may become uncomfortable for all parties concerned.

Off the record (my own lawyer would not want me telling you this), Virgil Wilcox has implicated you in several instances of fraud, deceit, and theft over the past 3 years. By my reckoning, you may have been in receipt of nearly $200,000 worth of stolen merchandise.

I will be in touch with you soon.

Dear Mr. Freeman,

Thank you for your interest in our Baby Walkers.

Fungal-Foot Magic Baby Walkers has been the premier baby walker manufacturer in the US since 1773. We pride ourselves on quality, price, and longevity. In 237 years of uninterrupted baby walker production we are proud to say that while our competitors have diluted themselves with dozens and dozens of varieties of baby walkers, we have only one. It is the "Death-To-Tories" Solid Wood Baby Walker.

In 1773, Jedediah Fungal and Gilchrist Foot founded the Fungal-Foot Company with the dream and intention of ridding the colonies of the seditious bastardly Tories while producing a simple way for babies to learn to walk. Thus was formed our company. It wasn't until almost 200 years later, in 1970, that Boswell Magic joined the company and introduced the concept of sanding the splinters and rough or sharp edges off of the walkers.

Pricing is as follows:
Quantity for orders of the "Death-To-Tories" Solid Wood Baby Walker
1 - $155.00
All other quantities: Multiply the desired amount by $155

I truly - in my heart of hearts - believe you will require 2 dozen units. Your price is $3,720.00 excluding shipping.

Yes we take credit cards.

Thank you.

I'm not sure why you failed to respond previously with pricing. I suspect that either stupidity or laziness is at play here. Please don't let this happen again. John Freeman is a dear friend of mine besides being a valued customer. Adding that to the fact that John lives out each day of his life in misery, I am impatient with other people, such as yourself, who cause him more grief. John is even now undergoing a radical medical procedure which may help extend his life by a few months. On the other hand, it may kill him. Whichever of these two outcomes, one thing is for sure. His days as 2nd bassoonist for the San Diego Philharmonic are over.

I always deal with shippers this way.

I have found that shippers give more attention and urgency if you tell them that the customer is very sick and possibly dying. Just wait and see. This Captain McCoy will not only get back quickly with the prices, he'll also give you BETTER prices. It's the sympathy. He'll feel sorry for you and lower his rates. I guarantee it.

The only bad thing about this strategy is that you may have to actually fake being sick if you ever meet him in person. If you find yourself in this predicament, just contact me. I know a way of causing projectile vomiting by using some baking soda, oil of cloves, and dog urine. It works every time. And the good thing is that you'll never have to meet him again.

Dear John,

I haven't heard from your shipper yet and that's very surprising to me.

Serious illnesses, however phony, tend to cause these shippers to move faster. That hasn't happened. It's quite unusual. I may have to resort to a "death-bed estimate request scenario".

In this scenario I'll need you to contact the shipper and tell him that you will probably not survive the day. You'll want to say that your widow, who is both blind and incontinent, will be handling your affairs after your death. Tell him that you hate to put this kind of burden on her because she is also bi-polar and has several personality disorders including pyromania. Tell him that if she is arrested again she will not be able to complete our transaction and that he will surely lose the sale. This gives him a few reasons to give you your costs very rapidly.

Let me know what happens.

On the other hand, do you want me to contact him again?

Dear Captain McCoy,

It is with great regret that I must inform you of the death of John Freeman.

John Freeman was a dear friend of mine, a devoted father, an occasionally faithful husband, a master pastry baker, and a champion shuffle-board player.

But his true passion was taking care of the children at the Freeman Center at St. Jezebel's School for Unwed Mothers in Bangkok, Thailand. I know the newspapers have not been kind to his reputation and have accused him of - among many other things - fathering most of the children there, and white slavery. But I can assure you that none of the children were white. And I know he was very fond of the young women there and everywhere else in the world. He was filled with love and shared that love whenever he could... as long as his wife didn't find out.

I don't believe we can allow his legacy to fade away just because he is dead. He would have wanted the Baby-Walkers to be shipped and he would have wanted YOU to be the shipper.

Please, Captain McCoy, I believe you would be the perfect shipper and I know you are the real McCoy. Please let me know the shipping cost for this parcel. Here again is the information you need:

"The parcel will be prepared for shipping on one (1) pallet, 48" x 48" x 96" high.

The weight will be 1020 lbs (including pallet)."

I need these costs right away. Think of the poor children who are, even now, walker-less.

Thank you for your speedy attention.

Dear John,

See, I told you the shipper would get back with the costs.

And I don't know what it should cost to send 60 baby-walkers and 3 "Tar and Feathering Kits" to Thailand but $6,500 sounds very reasonable to me.

The only problem now is that they believe you're dead. Sorry about that. But it was necessary. I think the shipper must be a total asshole and a complete moron, but still, you'll have to be careful. I think that if you need to contact them directly you should use an alias. DON'T USE THE NAME, JOHN FREEMAN. Instead maybe you'll want to call yourself SALLY DALRYMPLE or CHLAMYDIA PERTUSSIS. Put your choice of names in the next email you send to me. (I won't charge you for the name. That's the kind of guy I am.)

Just tell them that you're John's illegitimate daughter. They don't need to know more than that.

So now you have all of the costs. Please the send payment information right away. There's a rumor going around here that our prices may be changing. I'll do what I can to keep your prices the same but I can't guarantee it. You must hurry.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that I cannot give your a phone number. Maybe I should have explained this to you from the outset but Fungal-Foot Magic Baby Walkers is an exclusively hearing impaired company.

In order for us to qualify for Federal Disability Enterprise Zone Grants, 100% of our employees must be completely deaf. And we are.

All communication with anyone here must be done visually or via email.

If you ever get a chance to visit our facility, I think you'll find one of the quietest companies in the world. Or at least, that's what I've been told. I wouldn't know.

Please send ALL of your payment information by email.

Thank you.

John,

Your email has a ring of condescension and superiority to it.

Do not think less of people with a hearing disability, John. We are as capable as anyone else in communicating. We just do it differently. For us EMAILING is talking.

If your own prejudices get in the way of business, that's your problem, not ours.

If you cannot function as a polite representative of the "hearing" world, we would rather not have to deal with you.

If on the other hand, you take advantage of the truly great prices I've been quoting you AND overcome your own bigotry, you will not only start being opened minded, but also you would become an emissary of Jesus.

So what's it going to be, John? Continue with the order? Or succumb to personal stupidity?

Dear John,

As I thought might happen, we just had a price change. I did everything I could to keep this from effecting you but it did.

The new price for the "Death-To-Tories" Solid Wood Baby Walker is $130 each and NOT $155 as previously quoted.

I apologize for whatever inconvenience this may cause.

Apparently this new price is a result of a class action law suit settlement. It seems that our baby walkers have been implicated in several thousand fires over the past 25 years. The type of wood used (since 1985) in manufacturing (Incendiary Oak) along with a particular ingredient in the secret finishing formula we use (Ignitonium) occasionally result in fiery babies. Up until recently, Spontaneous Human Combustion had been thought to be the cause. Fortunately our lawyers kept our company from closing down completely. The governor realized that closing a plant like ours would put almost 2 dozen people out of work and the effect on the community at large (Massachusetts) would be devastating. Therefore it was agreed that we would lower our prices by $25 and add a warning sticker on the underside of each baby walker. This was the terms of the settlement.

What this means to you is this:

60 pieces of the "Death-To-Tories" Solid Wood Baby Walker @ $130 each is a total of $7,800.00 (NOT $9,300.00). You save $1,500!

Shipping via Overseas Shipping Co. to Thailand is $6,500 (This remains the same, although you might have SALLY DALRYMPLE contact Captain McCoy for some more negotiating.)

Total: $14,300 (NOT $15,800.00)

I hope that you don't cancel your order because of a few fires. In my opinion, children can learn a lot about fire, smoke inhalation, 1st degree burns, and skin grafts by dealing with them at an early age.

I await your payment information.

Thank you for your mail , well i will like to know if i can provide you with my credit card information for the total payment of the walkers and the shipping so that you can handle all on my behave and also thanks for the prices change

Dear John,

I'm glad to see that you are unperturbed by the mental image of a few thousand smoking baby carcasses. Someone with a weaker stomach or higher morals might have called the whole thing off.

Of course I can handle the shipping for you. I understand completely that you wouldn't want Captain McCoy to know that you are still alive. And in a small way, I do feel slightly responsible for the deception.

Please send me what I need to know to proceed with this transaction.

Thank you.

John,

Do you mean to say that you expect me to run this credit card 5 (FIVE!) times!!

Who the hell do you think you're dealing with? A goddamned candy store?!!

We presently have over 80,000 customers worldwide and 35% of them regularly pay by credit card. And ALL of them have credit limits in excess of $250,000. And you're telling me that your credit limit is $3000!!

I can't believe I've been wasting my time dealing with a complete amateur! You must be tin-plated asshole! I'm probably going to fired for this.

It's times like these that I'm glad I'm deaf so I won't have to hear my fellow sales associates guffaw about what a schlemiel I've been!

I'll tell you what, Mr. John "Super-Putz" Freeman, take your goddamned credit card, fold it in half, and shove it straight up your ass! Do this 5 (FIVE!) times and maybe on the last time you'll get a receipt!

I don't believe this is happening to me.

Dear Reverend Genital,

It has been my experience that churches require 450 feet of 5' fence. And as luck would have it, we happen to have that much fence in stock.

Your total cost for this fence is $6,480.00 excluding shipping.

I wish I could give you my phone number but the truth is that I don't have a phone. In my youth I lost both ears in a gambling accident. But please don't pity me. My lack of ears only means that I can stick my head out of almost any porthole on almost any ship without fear of entrapment. You can't imagine how useful this ability has proven.

We take all major credit cards.

Thank you for your order.

Dear Mr. Cruz,

Thank you for your interest in the Montage Majestic Fence. However it is with regret that I must tell you that we are no distributors of this fence.

Perhaps you have seen the recent TV and newspaper reports regarding the recall of this particular fence. It appears that this fence, which comes from China, contains substantial traces of mercury. The result is that any birds that happen to land on the fence - even for a few seconds - absorb enough mercury to cause severe brain damage. It has been reported that birds have been seen disoriented and wistful in appearance. They show obvious indecisiveness and indifference, and they leave their droppings everywhere.

For this reason we have decided to substitute the Montage Majestic Fence with an American-made fence: The John Wayne Patriot Fence.

And yes, we have it in stock.

For 15 sections @ $105 per section, your cost will be $1,575.00 not counting shipping.

We do take all major credit cards.

Please advise how you would prefer to proceed.

Thank you.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you for that information,however i would like the patriot fence instead,and i would like to have your contact phone number and company address.

Do let me know when you'd be ready for my credit card for the payment.

Dear Peter,

I believe you made a wise decision in buying our fence, I know for a fact that the other fence - the poisonous Chinese fence - is much less expensive and it can be purchased from over 300 other fence distributors. And I also know that all of the other distributors give lifetime unconditional warrantees including free shipping and sales incentive give-aways such as ski vacations and free diaper service.

But I believe you are an honorable man who cares more for protecting our environment (and especially our birds) than you do about saving a whole lot of money and getting free things.

We give free cardboard and pallets with each order.

Here is the information your requested:

Thomas Crapper Fence Company
"It's Not Just a Fence. It's a CRAPPER!" (our motto)
Bleeding Ulcer Industrial Park
2500 Hoity Toity Blvd.
Fallout, NV 89712

I'm sorry to tell you that we have no telephone here. The founder of our company, Rutherford Crapper (my great-grandfather), swore a pledge that the company would never have technology that was newer than waterwheels and computers. I'm sure you'll understand.

Please provide your payment information.

Dear Mr. Van Carin,

I am unable to give you a phone number since I don't have a phone. As a child I lost both of my ears in an accident as a spectator of a traveling circus. It was during a skit in which two sword-swallowers on skateboards were juggling flaming gourds. Several people were killed and a camel was burned to death so my own injuries were trivial by comparison. Yet I was left without ears or the ability to hear or wear sunglasses. Thus, no phone and much squinting.

Please tell me that my disabilities do not exclude me from receiving the prize money. With the money I will be able to get the ear transplant I've been dreaming about for so long.

Please forward me the appropriate forms.

Thank you.
