A stolen post -

funphone.com

"FunPhone.com regrets to announce that it has ceased all production of fun, effective immediately.

We have restructured our operations in a way that will make us quite lean and very mean. A few random calls will be connected manually by cheap labor in the Phillipines, but most of our customers will hear nothing at all when they use our service. The company hopes to generate additional revenue by selling the name, address and phone number of everyone who has ever visited the site to I-Want-Spam.com.

As the company transitions to a post-salary situation, we are confident our many ex-employees will soon find other work in the telecommunications sector, possibly searching for change in public telephones. The Marketing Department has already been welcomed back by the perfume counter at Macy's...."

"..."The last nail in our corporate coffin was the recent downgrade by Wall Street analyst Henri Blojet, from Mega-Cosmic Giganto Super-Neat Idea to Totally-Stinky Money-Sucking Nightmare. That hurt us. When Henri finally wakes up and downgrades a deal, you know it's over. ..."

"..."We're just going to hunker down and wait it out, hoping for the next wave of easy money and naïve optimism, when the goatee is once again the universal symbol of business and technical acumen, it's impossible to park downtown, and you sound smart if you add words like space and going forward to every sentence."

Added Bruce, "Our strategy going forward is to be a leader in the dead dot-com space. It's just like death in the real life space, it's not the end of the world or anything. We'll bounce back, going forward." ..."

"...This page sponsored by the Margin Desk at Goldworth Grynch. "It's Our Money Now!"..."
