Contractor of the year Award

Dear Dryer Vent Contractor:

Thank you for coming to my home and putting the cover over the dryer vents. I really appreciate your care and due diligence regarding the 2 birds you trapped in there. When we called, you said you would "Fix it." Somehow you managed to reset the covers and trap another bird. I just set all the bastards free and ruined your $350 dollar fix.

BTW, I am not going to add you on the Home Owners Association Fav Home Contractors.
Anger one Yuppie, you anger them all!

Sincerely,

The Aggravated Economist

More Magical Thinking by Malcom Gladwell

Here is a short synapsis of The Tipping Point. Events are like viruses. That's it, you don't have to read it now. I have just saved about 4 hours for everyone in the universe to do something more productive. I must be a "Maven."

Thank you Malcom for coming up with crazy assed theories that really have no basis in reality. Dude, you give the social sciences a bad name. I am quite annoyed that you have written another book. Oh the horror! Has this man ever heard of linear regression?
