“When a needle falls into a deep well, many people will look into the
well, but few will be ready to go down after it, and swim around looking
for it, especially if the water is not very clear, or if cattle have
been nearby and their waste has seeped into the well, or the children
are above you watching you look for the needle and are throwing things
at you, like sticks or stones or things like that because they have
nothing better to do, and really, does that particular needle really
matter all that much, I mean really.”
– African proverb

Dear Ned,

Why do you limit the one-paragraph pitch to one paragraph? I couldn't
possibly tell you how great I am and how desperate I am for a job in
just one paragraph. I need 10-15 paragraphs minimum. Please advise.

Sincerely,
A very important communicator

***  Hours after Senator Edward's dramatic press conference in which he
said he would continue his presidential campaign despite learning his
wife's cancer had returned, media expert and author Michael Levine
predicated that the announcement would dramatically help his poll
numbers. Now, one week later, John Edwards' poll position in the
Democratic presidential primaries surged in the wake of his announcement
that his wife, Elizabeth, is suffering from incurable cancer, a new Time
magazine survey shows. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gets 38 percent,
while Sen. Barack Obama gets 30 percent and Edwards gets 26 percent.
That's a 9-point bump for Edwards since the mag's mid-March poll. The
new poll was conducted March 23-26. “The dramatic press conference
brought attention to Edwards and made his look confident, sympathetic
and human.” said Levine.

Sen. Clinton announced yesterday that her husband was also very sick,
and that she deserved sympathy points in the poll, too.

***  Science Introduces Edible Data

In a major technological breakthrough, the National Academy of Applied
Science today announced a potential solution to the world hunger problem
through the application of nanotechnology and virtual reality to produce
“edible data.”

“While we still have a ways to go, this new biotech food has the
potential to solve world hunger problems,” Dr. Easton West told the
International World Hunger Symposium, meeting March 32 through April 3
in Paris. The new technology combines some of the newest research in the
field of quantum physics with nanotechnology to deliver edible data via
standard telecommunications channels.

Some of the issues to resolve include edible databackup in the human
intestinal tract, which is treated through the use of nanotechnological
constipative pharmaceuticals, also downloadable with a prescription.

Dr. West noted that any products likely to result from this new
technology are still several years away. In the United States, for
example, the Food and Drug Administration is still grappling with
testing standards for edible data. However, Dr. West said that China is
moving quickly to develop a process to license and market edible data,
possibly expediting interest in mass production capabilities.

***  U.S. Government, Microsoft and Verizon Team Addresses Data Theft

The FBA announced today that work with Microsoft and Verizon has
succeeded in the development of a new application that may bring an end
to problems posed by stolen government laptops.

“This new beta application named “Gotcha!” works in several ways to
thwart criminals,” FBI spokesperson April Fuhle announced. “Through the
use of several classified identifiers, stolen laptops will photograph
the user and transmit that person's photo to law enforcement agencies
nationwide, along with GPS tracking. This ability, which has been
successfully tested, has resulted in immediate rest and retrieval of the
equipment.” Fuhle also noted that data encryption has prevented data on
stolen laptops from being accessed.

“We expect to apply Gotcha! technology in many other ways,” Fuhle said.
Microsoft and Verizon will include Gotcha! on their 2008 products.

Career Profiles

1.)  COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST, INSTITUTE FOR EVASIVE FECES, TIGHLMAN
ISLAND, MD

Company in Maryland seeks people to catch manure, I think. The
successful candidate must provide his/her own plastic gloves and have a
sharp eye for not stepping in doo-doo. Previous experience walking dogs
helpful. Send Resume to IEF, Tighlman Island, Md.

Dear Ned,

Sorry to bother you, but please disregard the previous job listing I
sent you and use the one below instead. I misunderstood the client's
message (it's their own fault, their phone line is awful). Needless to
say, they are not happy with me. So please delete the previous message I
will be in deep doo-doo (heh!) if you don't.

Sincerely,
Dan

1.)  (Rev.)  COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST, INSTITUTE FOR INVASIVE SPECIES,
TIGHLMAN ISLAND, MD

Company in Maryland seeks communication specialist to promote awareness
of invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay, such as the snakehead, the
Canada Goose and the hydrilla. Good hearing skills essential. Resume to
IIS, Tighlman Island, Md.

2.)    Publicity Person, Miss Informed Pageant, Paiute Pete's Casino,
Winnemucca Convention and Visitors Authority, Winnemucca, NV

Help promote the “Intelligent Beauty pageant,” held each year at the
“Crossroads of the West.”  This event pits beauty and brains against one
another, to help find who is truly the “smartest broad alive,” and
worthy of being crowned as “Miss Informed.”  Contestants will be forced
to recall trivial facts while subjected to the scorching temperature,
arid dry air and thin atmosphere in the high desert.  Semi-finalists
must sing show tunes while drinking shots and reciting Shakespeare
backwards.  Finalists will be dumped in abandoned silver mines and be
given a time limit to find their way out and get back to the Paiute
Pete's Casino in time for the crowning ceremony in evening gowns and
heels.

Send an email to PageantPubPers@PaiutePete.com

3.)   Press Secretary/Grass Roots Campaign Manager, What's Right is
Right, Washington, DC

Lead the charge up Capitol Hill to repeal the “Truth in Porn Act.” 
We're looking for bipartisan support to bust this bad bill back on its
ass.  Fundamentally, everyone knows this is the right thing to do.  Can
you deliver the money shot?

Send resume and pictorial portfolio to comm.@noway.org

4.)    Community Relations, Chemical Weapons Demilitarization Benefits
Office, Tooele, Utah

We need you to tell our great story to the community and the nation. 
It's an exciting story that is not well understood.  Sure, nerve gas,
mustard gas and blister agents are generally seen as pretty nasty stuff
in the wrong hands and in the right weather conditions.  But did you
know that the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, found in sarin makes hops
grow prolific and hearty, and who doesn't like that hopsy taste in beer?
 We all know that cyanogen chloride and hydrogen sulfide keep cellular
respiration from occurring and preventing oxygen from keeping us alive. 
But it's great for shining brass, copper and other metals. 
2-Chlorovinyldichloroarsine, better known among the CW crowd (that's
chemical weapons, don't worry, you'll catch the lingo post haste) as
Lewisite 1, gives you those large and uncomfortable blisters all over
your body.  But they also control slugs and snails, and which is more
important? 

You can now see that chemical weapons are a real boon to the community,
and a town should be thrilled to know we're cracking these shells open
in their back yard and making other great byproducts.  And everyone gets
to wear a nifty bright yellow suit.

Send your resume and skin type to donotremove@chemdemil.gov

5.)  Community Relations Specialist, National Cockfighting
Championships, Southern Pines, North Carolina

Join our team in promoting a proud American tradition! The National
Cockfighting Championships is a privately owned sports entertainment
venue on the verge of a public breakthrough. The candidate will possess
persuasive skills, familiarity with obtaining television contracts and
discretion. Knowledge of state and local laws a must; legal background
preferred. Resume to NCC, the Barn Behind Ed's House, (knock three
times, pause, then twice more), Southern Pines N.C.

6.)  Publicist, Cockfighting Helps Underscore Male Pride (CHUMP),
Hendersonville, North Carolina

CHUMP, the “NASCAR of Cockfighting,” seeks experienced professional to
develop and foster a brand identity campaign. The candidate will promote
product at gun shows, state fairs, auto races and other stereotypical
settings as we galvanize our existing fan base and branch out to other
audience segments. Strong knowledge of the complete “Dukes of Hazard”
TVshow a plus. Y'all call us at 1-555-555-2625 and tell us why you da
man.

long), Gap Tooth Poultry Processing, Spread Eagle, North Carolina

Ricky's Rooster Tenders, the largest processor of cockfighting remains
and entrails, seeks marketing/communications specialist with a flair for
spin. We've discovered that it's hard to sell our products when we
called it “Ricky's Rooster Remains and Entrails,” so we hired Ricky's
brother-in-law who used to work at McDonald's who came up with the
“rooster tenders” name. Problem is, they're not always tender, as we
sometimes end up with beaks and talons in the product, and the FDA is
coming down on us like Alberto Gonzales on a wayward U.S. attorney.
Think you can help us? Send us a letter explaining how you can look
someone in the eye and lie like a dog to: Gap Tooth Poultry Processing,
Spread Eagle, N.C. 28999

8.)  Mascot, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio

Kent State University, one of the largest institutions of higher
learning in the State of Ohio, seeks a new mascot. Let's face it, folks:
when it came to college nicknames, Kent State didn't give it a lot of
thought. Our nickname, the “Golden Flashes,” was created with good
intentions, but our mascot–a menopausal woman wearing a Depends
undergarment–has failed to inspire shock and awe among our opponents,
nor has it galvanized our fan base. And Mrs. McCullen, who has served as
our Mascot for the past 17 years, says she recently lost another tooth
and doesn't want to do it anymore. So, we seek a dynamic, creative
mascot who can make this challenge his/her own. Send your resume, cover
letter and a full-length photo (tasteful, please) to: Search Committee,
Mascot, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio 44242.

9.)  Marketing Communications and Promotions, Spring Break, Bonnie Belle

When Six Sigma isn't good enough-there's Seven Sigma! We are setting the
new standard in organizational excellence. We've taken the six standard
deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit in any
process and found the seventh deviation-the X Deviation. (It's the
deviation that explains why, for example, Sanjaya is still on American
Idol.). It's the deviation that the Six Sigma people don't want you to
know about! Help us makes scads of money off of gullible HR types.
Resume, cover letter and prison history to: Seven Sigma Corporation,

14.)  Vice President of Marketing, American Association of Executives
Who Are Leaving To Spend More Time with Their Families, Washington, D.C.

Ever wonder where all those executives who leave companies “to spend
more time with their families” go? They come here! Dynamic trade
association in Washington DC has created a place for these wayward
executives. We give them a desk, a phone and some important-looking
papers to shuffle so that when they say they're leaving to spend more
time with their families, they're telling the truth! Resume, cover
letter and explanation of why you left your last job to spend more time
with your family to: AAEWLSMTTF, P.O. Box 1600, Washington, DC 20006. 
Additionally, see job opening at our sister company, The American
Association of Executives Who are Leaving to Pursue other Career
Opportunities.

15.)  Publicist, Escarpment Pictures, Tujunga Canyon, California

Publicist wanted to create buzz and excitement about “Rematch in the
Field,” starring “Lillies of the Field” star Sydney Poitier, who returns
to the screen as itinerant worker Homer Smith.  When he pulls up to the
very farm where the nuns (who have escaped from Communist eastern
Europe) convinced him to build a church 50 years earlier, he finds the
place is now a giant complex with a school, hospital and shrine to Our
Lady of the Barbed Wire. And a winery, and a four-year college. Abe
Vigoda plays Father Murphy, who talks Smith into coaching the college
basketball team. Smith recruits a 7'-3″ center from Serbia who may or
may not have been closely related to Mother Maria, and turns the
“Lillies”-who were oh-and-seven in the Land of Enchantment league-around
to whoop their way to the conference championship. They incredibly get
an at large bid to the NCAA tournament, but Smith gets back into his old
beat up station wagon and drives off before the big game proving that
quitters can finish first.

47.)  Communication Director, Campaign to Eliminate Insensitivity
Involving People With Initials (CAIIPWI), Washington, DC

Many people use initials instead of names.  However, insensitive groups
such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association have thoughtlessly
and insensitively adopted initials instead of their names without regard
to the feelings of Americans of abbreviated decent.

The energies of the National Collegiate Athletic Association directed at
eliminating collegiate athletic teams with nicknames and mascots that
identify with America's proud native heritage are misplaced

escaped in their boats.

observed a man on Richfield Drive stealing cable TV service from all the

Malucca Straits, March 25: A lookout on a freighter spotted a submarine

amidships.  Thinking they were heading aft, they were actually heading
forward.  They entered the accommodation area on the O2 level, thinking
they were on the main deck, to steal some magazines.  Robbers were
confronted by a Philippino crew member.  Robbers called the crew member
a “Damn Malaysian.”  Crew member responded,” I am not Malaysian.  I am
from Palawan.  And you two thieves must be scum from Java.”  No, said
the first robber, “I am from Halmahera.  I have a sister who married a
man from Java, and they now live in a box on the side of the road
between Tanjung Priok and Jakarta.” The other robber added, “I am from
Suluwesi.  I have never even been to Java.”
Master raised alarm, robbers slipped back over the fantail, but were
still disoriented and thought they were at the forecastle.  Pirates
thpought they were escaping to Lombok but actually headed off in
direction of Kilimantan. Crew alerted, authorities were informed. Search
party conducted a thorough search on board and no magazines were found
to be missing or stolen.
