***OFFICIAL BUSINESS AT THE BOTTOM***

From: Andrew
To: Phil

On the train of life, sometimes the most important thing is just to stay on the tracks. But my life is not like a train. It's more like a waffle. So sometimes in my life, the most important thing is to be covered in syrup.

From: Jamelle
To: Ester and Nadine

Thank you for the flowers and card! What a wonderful token of your kindness and affection! But, just for the record, when my birthday comes around next year, I really was serious when I said that what I wanted was world peace.

To: The Editorial Board of the New York Times

Judgment without authority is like a shovel without a handle, in that the Supreme Court is broken and so is my fucking shovel.

From: Claire
To: Hollywood (or whoever makes the stuff on my Roku, I guess)

From: Elinor
To: Anyone with $3,000

For sale, restaurant name: I Love What You’ve Done with the Crepes.

From: James
To: Ed

Don't tell me to calm down! You know I can't regulate my emotions.

From: Jay
To: Najmieh

How tall do you think I am? And don't ask to meet me first or have me send you a picture with some objects for scale. When you became pen-pals with a very demanding person who loves guessing games, you knew what you were getting into.

To: Anyone

I am selling a chair that used to be owned by a cool neighborhood guy who ran a pizza place. Imagine all that good karma! And all the money you'll save on tomato scented candles!

From: Chip
To: Jenna

No one appreciates your sarcasm, young lady. Except for me. Too bad that I’m just the ghost of a squirrel who learned to use a Blackberry in a failed science experiment, so we can never make this relationship work. Logistics, you know?
