Some people say that courtesy is dead. For me, it isn't. Here's a sampling of a few thank you notes I've sent in the past week.
Dear Art Garfunkel,
Thanks for the peach cobbler. Also, thank you for the enlightening discussion after our cobbler. I had no idea Paul Simon was so mean to you. Try not to let the past get you down; remember who has the cobbler recipe.
Your best friend,
Cody Powell
Dear Terry Bradshaw,
Thank you for the antique harpoon collection. I sure had fun last weekend, chasing you around the park with them. The only question mark now is what to do with these harpoons. I have been hearing some bad things about Paul Simon lately, maybe I will turn them on him. Thanks again.
Your best friend,
Cody Powell
Dear Aqua-Man,
Thank you very much for the mermaid costume. Leave it to Aqua-Man to find the only truly realistic one I've ever seen! I plan on using this to lure Paul Simon to his watery demise, with the help of Terry Bradshaw's harpoons. I'll let you know how it goes!
Your best friend,
Cody Powell
Dear Paul Simon,
How can I thank you for not informing the authorities after our dreadful misunderstanding down at the beach? It was all a big mistake. If I had known it was Art and not you that it had been the aggressor in most of the tickle fights, I would've never tried to assault you. Let me make it up to you, Paul. Let me use Terry Bradshaw's harpoons and my mermaid costume to set Garfunkel straight. What do you say?
Your NEW best friend,
Cody Powell
