Dear ____,

I ___ my ankle over the weekend, so I won’t be able to ___ at work today. Over the weekend, I went ____ to ____ with some friends, and proceeded to ____ my way right off the top. Oops! I have attached a doctor’s note which attests to the fact that if I ___ too much, I might be unable to ___ for several weeks. This injury has nothing to do with ___ing etc… advance to the finals of the 1st Annual Sketchprov Festival. (Though that was very ___ing exciting!)

I hope to back at work a couple days. Thanks for ____ing!

Warm regards,
_____

Fresh off its scintillating run to the Sketchprov finals, etc… rolls into the PIT this Friday for the Co-workers ___ing finale. There will be no more ___ing after this Friday night. Did you hear that right? ___ right you did!

World Series Suspended

Gene — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 02:59:30 +0000

Last night, Bud Selig, commissioner of Major League Baseball, elected to suspend play in the sixth inning of game 5 of World Series with the score tied 2 - 2 between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays. That the weather was terrible was not in question, however the timing was suspect In the top of the 6th inning, BJ Upton, the Rays centerfielder, scored the tying run off a flare to left field after having reached base on an infield hit, which in more pacific weather might have been an easy out.

The Phillies were none too pleased at Commissioner Bud’s decision:

“That (expletive deleted) guy,” one pitcher said as he saw commissioner Bud Selig before walking out the back door of the clubhouse. “I wouldn’t let him supervise one of my (bowel movements). He has no clue. Not one (expletive deleted) clue.”

(Expletive deleted) Selig supervising a (bowel movement) is an intriguing proposition: I imagine he’d give you about 10 minutes to work your magic before declaring the event a tie and suspending play until the following day. Subsequent (bowel movements) would be decided by the winner of the All-Star game.
