Rube Correspondence

Yeah, yeah, we hear ya.

“What’s all this got to do with me?” you say. “These rubes haven’t invaded my personal bubble. It’s not like they’ve bombed my Twin Towers, dragging me into a war on Rubism”, you continue.

Fine, but you wait until some rubey fucknut lands some of this kinda bullshit all up in your piece and we’ll discuss the matter further. Here we have the email of a Rube shopped in to Rube Watch by a friend. It stands as a testament to just what can happen when rubes are allowed to run about the place unchecked, and indeed, to hold positions of authority. In very un-Rube Watch style, the Rube involved will remain anonymous, to protect our friend rather than to save him from any embarrassment, because as you should be well aware, rubes are incapable of embarrassment. (This is not a personality trait. They actually lack an enzyme that eats wanky egocentrism, thereby preventing any introspection regarding their rubey behaviour)

Anyway, read and learn people. Assholes are everywhere. It’s just a matter of time before some Rube crashes into your Twin Towers. Then you’ll see.

Then you’ll see.

Hiya
Attached is the revised proposal. Please note I have added the engineers pilot that we talked about & have whacked £5k in the budget to cover additional materials /staff time etc.

You can see in here the DBTF events that we are proposing for the meeting on Monday.

Morning,
I don't know if you meant to send me a copy of your report, but I read it quickly anyway and have a couple of small comments to make.
On page two, top line of the last paragraph I think the word 'wit' should be 'with'.
On page 5 (top line) you refer to 'brainstorm', I don't know how politically correct your target audience is but certainly, we don't use that word becuse[sic] that's what epileptics suffer from when they have a fit. The current thinking is 'thoughts shower'.
Cheers, speak soon

Asshole.
