“You knowww…A good goat'll do that for you.”
-member of the jury
Welcome to another edition of the Job of the Week, where you get more
muck in your mailbox than you can squeeze in your skivvies. This is the
network where Ned gets all the benefits and you do all the work. The
Job of the Week is free. Remember, I can't change your e-mail address.
You have to do it yourself. Is that too difficult a concept for you?
Apparently so.
The award-winning JOTW (it's true-we've won more than 1,000 APEX Awards
(motto: “If You Have $59, We Have An Award For You”) since 2002) is a
service for YOU, the victim-er, members of this cooperative network of
professional communicators and others who love to hear themselves talk.
We have nearly 8,000 subscribers, of which about 30 have very strong
opinions. More than 3 people have found jobs as a direct result of JOTW.
This pedestrian JOTW is a service of YOU, the members of this
cooperative network of pseudo communicators who share every mundane
sneeze, cough and sniffle that ails them in lieu of information and
career opportunities and advice. Enough already.
The value proposition is this: It makes you feel important, at least
someone is listening to you. But if you must lurk, we ask that you
please not point and stare. Did I mention it was free? Your friends
have sent us a blank e-mail to JOTW-subscribe@topica.com. They too want
you to get a life.
Guess how many people are members of this network? Nope. The correct
answer is 6,668.
I never give out, rent, or sell my list. Really, I tried but no
takers.

*** One Paragraph Pitch:
Former publicity stunt mastermind wishes to enhance my opportunities
following successful wardrobe malfunction. I was the titular head of a
creative team for a well-known pop/dance diva until artistic differences
revealed a sunburst of flaws in her endowments. Now I wish to stay
abreast of the latest booms and busts in the entertainment world,
perhaps even work it for the FCC. Extremely flexible. Enjoys the daily
bump and grind. Please don't use my name.
*** Can't wait for his turn to post his pitch:
I am a former speechwriter for Howard Dean now looking for a job.
Willing to relocate-I'll go to NORTH DAKOTA! I'll go to OHIO! I'll go to
SOUTH CAROLINA! I'll go to TEXAS! TO CALIFORNIA! TO COLORADO! TO
FLORIDA! TO PENNSYLVANIA! TO RHODE ISLAND AND ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE
HOUSE! EYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Please hire me. I can be reached at 703/555-3326. Leave a long, rambling
message.

Ned,
I take strong exception to Ward Eklund's comment that public relations
is nothing more than “free advertising.” OOOOOOOOOOH, that makes me mad!
I am SO ANGRY right now that I am literally sputtering! OW!-I just broke
off the “w” key on my keyboard! AHHHHHHH! MY CAT IS ON FIRE! HELP ME!
HELP ME! (THUD)

Dear Ned,
I tried to get to my e-mail but I keep getting an error message saying
my Inbox is full. Is there any way you could, via your connections on
JOTW, contact people who send me messages and let them know that I won't
be replying to my mail for a while. Thanks so much. By the way, love
your newsletter. This is truly a great service.

*** Used to be very punctual:
Dear Ned,
hmm…how do I say this delicately? I have a problem. I seem to have
lost a period. I haven't seen it in 3 months. What should I do? Can
you help?
Thanks so much in advance for all your help with this matter so far.

as the Big Muddy Ranch (I invented transformation.did you know that?) in
Antelope, OR, where I kept my 93 Rolls Royces (hey, rich Corinthian
leather my ass, do you have any Grey Poupon?) and my adoring fleet of

Deportation isn't so bad, and how many Rolls or Rolexes can one Bhagwan
truly enjoy at one time (this is something I would contemplate for many

*** Weekly Piracy Report:
Jennifer Duggan, age 14, a freshman at Edison High School in Alexandria,
Va., reported that two sophomores, Sasha Poltavets, 16, and Gerald
Canton, 15, were listening to a new Slipknot song that they had
illegally downloaded over the Internet. The U.S. Coast Guard was called
in. They boarded Poltavets and Canton and arrested them on the school
grounds. A check of their MP3 however, found no evidence of piracy and
the two were released in the wild.
The U.S. embassy in London filed a formal complaint at 10 Downing
Street, asserting that British impressment of U.S. Navy personnel is on
the upswing again after nearly 200 years of relative peace.
Ambassador-in-Waiting Edna Podhertz called the alleged impressments of
more than 150 U.S. Navy personnel in the past year “appalling” and
called on Prime Minister Tony Blair to “cease at once this dishonorable
and despicable activity.”
Blair, in a terse response, defended the action, stating that the Royal
Navy was “merely looking for British subjects who are called upon to
perform service to their country.” The navies of both countries have
been placed on “elevated alert” and rumor has it that the H.M.S.
Perseverance, a 74-gun ship-of-the-line, had been spotted off the New
Jersey coast, allegedly preying on fishing trawlers.
03.31.2004, off Mulberry St.
Bullies armed with sticks and rocks hijacked a bicycle with Billy Jones.
Billy's mom acting on intelligence spotted the bike and ordered them to
stop.
In an ensuing exchange of expletives, the bullies jumped off and were
chased by Billy's mom. The bullies remained in the bicycle defying
Billy's mom. The three bullies, reportedly sixth graders, ran. They were
picked up and detained by the police.

*** The Pope and Queen Elizabeth were standing on a balcony beaming at
thousands of people in the forecourt below. The Queen says to the Pope
out of the corner of her mouth, “I bet you a tenner that I can make
every English person in the crowd go wild with just a wave of my hand.”
The Pope says, “No way. You can't do that.”
The Queen says, “Watch this.”
So the Queen waves her hand and every English person in the crowd goes
crazy, waving their little plastic Union Jacks on sticks and cheering,
basically going ballistic.
So the Pope is standing there thinking, “Uh oh, what am I going to do? I
never thought she'd be able to do it.” So he thinks to himself for a
minute and then he turns to her and says, “I bet you I can make every
Irish person in the crowd go wild, not just now, but for the rest of the
week, with just one nod of my head.”
The Queen goes, “No way, it can't be done.”
So the Pope headbutts her.
*** For the good of the order:
1. How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened by the time she brings it.
2. Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably
never be able to support you.
3. Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those “evolutionary things” that allows them to stand closer
to the kitchen sink.
4. How do you know when a woman is about to say something smart?
When she starts her sentence with “A man once told me.”
5. How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
*** Women's bumper stickers:
SO MANY MEN, SO FEW WHO CAN AFFORD ME.
GOD MADE US SISTERS, PROZAC MADE US FRIENDS.
I'M OUT OF ESTROGEN AND I HAVE A GUN.
ALL STRESSED OUT AND NO ONE TO CHOKE.
