SO MUCH FUNNY!!!

[captain_slinky]

From one of my Ebay customers, I received a note today that started out like this...

"The package arrived, and the two parts were wrapped very carefully for shipping, however I was absolutely horrified when I saw that you had used newspaper to wrap such an item!"

He also went on to school me in the *proper* packing of a Muffy VaDerBear Figurine, why using Newspaper directly on the figurine is like working for Lucifer himself, how it *could* have left newsprint-ink on the figure (which it didn't THANK THE LORD), and I replied to let him know I would take his advice to heart.

HOWEVER!

Now I've got this image of this prissy-little fellow in Georgia when he received the package.

PRISSY: "Oh JOY! My Muffy VanDerBear Figurine I ordered off of Ebay has finally arrived! Did you hear that, girls?" (Looks over to shelves full of prissy little porcelain sculptures of bears and fairies and froggies and such) "MUFFY IS HERE!!"

**Russel, Russel**

"Wait a minute..." (pulling back a bit, look of the dead upon his face) "...Something is wrong. TERRIBLY Wrong!"

**Frantinc russeling of packing materials**

"MUFFY!!! WHERE ARE YOU, GIRL? Oh Lord... if there's just *one* mark on her precious head, I'll.. Oh, *there* you are!" (Kissing the figurine) "Are you okay? Any ink on you anywhere?" (Breaks down and starts crying) "Why... WHY, GOD, WHY??? Why are there people who don't know to put a tissue around a precious figurine before wrapping it in newspaper???"

This guy was so *moved* by his near-smudge experience, he had to write me a 3-page e-mail explaining why it was so bad what I had done! THREE PAGES!!!
