Nihil, terrific! Even lost in luff [a nautical term] we search for a little bargain...but the poor fellow [or poor miserable b* aka pmb, is more like it when he got back to his girlfriend]
My candidate for best strong letter will follow
An extremely peeved high ranking [and very colorful city-by-the-Bay]official had had just about enough of a certain bus company's shenanigans and wrote them an extremely terse colorful letter saying so, in no uncertain terms, as they say. The 'bus company' [it works both ways, guys, it is not uncommon for the 'private sector' to rip off the people, oops government] was the only player keeping alive a completely useless 100 million dollar. So the smart money was out to kill this project. But not the bus company..it kept this thing going on for years, design changes, contract definitions... In reality the bus company was jerking the mythical city by the Bay for a variance for its street operations, so this was sort of like, er, negotiations [in Chicago they would just pay them off!] ...Meanwhile, the city's rep, a bicyclist [never trust a bicyclist in any policy forum] voted against the city's policy and with the bus company...every friggin time.
So in the response to the bus company's letter...'Dear John, we can not make that meeting...our executives are on holiday in Hawaii', the pissed off letter writer wrote:
p.s....and when you come back to San Francisco, I hope you take the bus!

The bicyclist was later found to be exposing himself in a closet in a North Beach party...and was dismissed from his position on the board. |
