To: Colleague Talks-a-Lot

I will just say this of last night's office reception - you were by far the highlight for me. Normally I avoid you like the plague, but last night, your stories kept me entertained.

Your son is quite tall, you said. Over 6 feet, I believe. This you attribute to your "recipe for tallness" in which you required him to lay horizontally for 10 minutes per day after some physical activity among a few other rediculous things like a special diet you fed him. Do you really believe that you willed him to be tall? Like you have the secrets to a fool-proof method to tallness? You're so full of shit.

I apologize that I accidently could not hold back some laughter when you were discussing your fitness regime that combines elements of tai chi with belly-dancing. It's called Nia, you say. I actually just googled this and I'm shocked, this shit is real. Picturing you do it, however, is frightening. I told you I want you to give us a demonstration at the Chirstmas party this year .. ha ha .. and don't think I'm going to forget!
