what do you do with a blue rhino... cheer it up by telling it a joke.

here's the latest consumer awareness email to add to my growing repertoire...

Dear Blue Rhino Outdoor Grills:

Yesterday we purchased a deluxe charcoal grill from Lowe's to grill steaks on to celebrate America's birthday, the 4th of July. So, it came in a box and we had to put it together.

Everything was going great until it came time to put the lid on. We got the lid on, no problems, but it is totally off center. The handles do not line up, it's off keel. It wouldn't be so bad except that it is our first grill in our new home and everyone who comes over is going to see that it has crooked handles.

It's like whoever put it together drilled the whole in the wrong spot and now we are stuck with a sad looking specimen of a grill. We thought it might be somewhat of a concern, maybe the person who drills the holes had too many cocktails at lunch, who knows, but we thought you may like to be aware of the situation.

Sincerely,
the proud owners of a crooked grill.

here is what the grill should look like:

just for shits & giggles...

the dispatcher at the company I work for sends me emails whenever someone does not show up for work. I thought it might be interesting to chronicle them somewhere. These are straight from the emails, so please excuse any grammatical errors and please take special notice to how excited the dispatcher is to be informing me of each absentee!
