Note to coworkers:

I do not want to buy into your ‘money saving electricity supply’ program. No, I don’t know what it is, but I suspect it’s just another multi-level marketing plan that requires me to sell these plans to all my friends and family to save 5 bucks. No thanks.

The sticky pads that you apply to your abdomen guaranteed to make me lose 6 inches overnight? No way. Rumor says they smell like Ben Gay and there is nothing on the planet that will make you lose six inches overnight unless you count things like Ebola virus or some other hemorrhagic fever. Don’t want that either, thanks.

Sticky pads that I apply to my feet that remove all my toxins overnight while I sleep? Also a “No”. How could that possibly work? How do I know it won’t remove my brain cells by accident? In fact, I think that’s what they do.

I don’t mind the candy bars for baseball or the Girls Scout cookies- if you just leave that stuff in the lounge and let me decide on my own. But please quit approaching me to buy these bogus products. Why are you all so gullible?
