Subject: Jay’s Mailing List
Namaste!
The connection is very EXPEN$IVE and V E R Y S L O W, so this will be short and sweet, and I’m not writing individual messages. For those of you on the mailing list, look forward to exciting tales of the latest on the Nepali Maoist revolution front, and songs about lentil and rice. For those of you who are not receiving the mailing list, if you order now, there’s a
50% discount, and you get the swimsuit issue. And, finally, for those of you who can’t read English, this’ll be one heck of a shock for you.
So, I’ll write again, both mass-mail, and personal messages in about 3-4 weeks. As for my plans between now and then, I’m not telling, ’cause that’d spoil the fun…
I’ll leave you with what subscribers are saying about this list:
“Brilliant! Marvelous! Surely to be a classic in the field of e-mail travel writing!” — Jay Schneider
“Two Thumbs Up! Way up!” — Jay Schneider
“I’ve spent hours reading and rereading each installment. It’s almost as if it were me who had the experiences!” — Jay Schneider
“Please don’t send me any more mail. My mailbox is constantly filled with your crap writings about things in which I have absolutely no interest. I don’t even know you or how you got my address, but if you don’t stop harassing me, you’ll hear from my lawyer.” — (Name not given)
“Honey, don’t you think it’s about time you came home? Be sure to get to bed early, wear a sweater at night, even if you don’t think it’s cold, stop playing with grenades and for god’s sake it wouldn’t hurt for you to call once in a while.” — Susan Schneider, mother
“I have been reading, and enjoying, Jay’s e-mail’s from the start. They’re so good, I think everyone should give Jay lots of money, so he can continue to support his travel habit, and bless us with his laugh-out-loud stories!” — Ja…er…Anonymous
“FAILURE TO DELIVER MESSAGE — reason: address does not exist or server is not accepting mail.” — Mail Delivery System
So keep those comments coming, and I’ll write again near the end of October!
