Vanity, vanity, all is vanity

I received an email with this printed at the bottom:

Such temptation! I had to check out the website. Just as I thought, the entire contents of the email appear on the submissions page of the Masters of Today website. What are they hiding? Only this:

"After selection an editorial fee is requested to defray editorial and production expenses. The current editorial fee start at 590 Euro (or the equivalent currency) for one-page and 990 Euro (or the equivalent currency) for two-page spreads in the book."

In you feel that a one or two page spread will not be sufficient to show off your talent as an up and coming artists, you can always spalsh out on:

"An extended 14-pages artist profile is 5,670 Euro (or the equivalent currency) - the section could feature up to 25, each page could have 2 ~ 4 images. The text could be the writer's creative text, essays or statement. Also 12 copies of the book are given to an extended profile artist."

Shelagh,

You used, distributed and relied on contents of the email--such criminal behaviour!

What will you do next? I hope you are not even thinking of tearing the label off of a pillow.

Your felonies amaze me.

I do hope my comment is totally on-topic. I aim to please-just have poor aim at times.

hmmm
never mind, you can get time off for good behaviour!

luigie

Me, good behaviour? That's going to be hard.

We'll have you all behind bars for this...ok who's getting the first round of drinks?

Joe!

Cheers!

I'd like to take you up on that offer, just a question of airfares

A friend dared me to pull those labels off the pillows - I did, amidst a puff of feathers that escaped through the hole. I was right; those labels are meant to stay on.

It's better just to cut them off. I heard somewhere that the notice was meant for the merchant selling the pillow, not the customer buying it.

Aha! Public confessioms of unspeakable crimes. what other transgressions have you committed?

It will go far easier on you if you admit it

I've taken hotel towels.

I take the soap and shower caps.

Soap and shower caps are freebies. You have already paid for them several times over in the tariff!

Taking towels and bathrobes is theft.

What about packets of sugar, tea & coffee bags?
Taken a few of those in my time

Got a few bathrobes, too.

I went off topic on a thread! Can't get any worse than that!

Should I ban you? Hee hee.

Better do it.

Nah. Not my style.

Aw Phooey! Where are some mean folks! Such as:???

Airline pilots takes tons of soap from hotels. Jokes abound. One man during the earthquake in San Fransisco almost died when a thousand pounds of hotel soap fell on him. Another had been retired so long his soap was running out.

And my story. One time when my daughter went on a sleep over to a friend's house she came home to tell me an amazing story. "Mom, you would never believe what a huge bar of soap my friend had in her bathroom. It was unbelievable!!"
