Dear
Jeff,

Thankyou for your friendly reminder and the kind offer to
reduce my membership by twenty percent. I own a calculator but I could
not work out how to do percentages on it so have estimated that I save
around $372.10 off the normal price of $420.00 - Please confirm that
this is correct and I will renew my membership immediately. Also, do I
get a Fitness First sports bag with towel and drinking bottle included
in the price? I own my own legwarmers and headband.

Regards,
David.

Hello David

How did you come to
that amount? Our half year membership fees are actually $460 but with
the 20% discount as an existing member your renewing membership fee
would be only $368 for the six months saving you almost $100 off the
normal price. We are not Fitness First so do not have those
bags.

Cheers, Jeff

Dear Jeff

By the power of Greyskull that is a lot of
money but I admit to being in desperate need of increasing my body
strength. My ten year old child often turns the taps off in the bathroom
very tightly and I have to go several days without washing. I feel bad
constantly having to ask the lady from next door to come over and loosen
them for me, what with her arthritis and limited wheelchair access to my
apartment. To be honest, I originally joined your gym with full
intentions of attending every few days but after waiting in vain for
someone to offer me steroids, I began to suspect this was not going to
happen and the realisation that I may have to exercise instead was,
quite frankly, horrifying. My aversion to work, along with the fact one
of your employees, Justin, was rather rude, telling me to 'lift this',
''push that' dulled my initial enthusiasm of becoming muscular and I
stopped attending.

Regards, David.

Hello David

Not sure how to take your email,
nobody here would offer you steroids, it is illegal and none of our
staff would do this. Justin is one of our most experienced trainers and
if you found him rude while he was trying to be helpful and just doing
his job then there are plenty of other gyms you could look at joining
instead.

Dear Jeff

Yes, I have noticed that there are many gyms
in my area. I assume the low qualification requirements of fitness
trainers means that there is an over supply of these buffed but
essentially otherwise purposeless professionals. I knew a guy in high
school who couldn't talk very well and collected sticks, he used to call
the teacher 'mum' and during recess we would give him money to dance.
Then sell him sticks to get our money back. He went on to become a
fitness instructor so I view gyms as kind of like those factories that
provide a community service by employing people with down syndrome to
lick stamps and pack boxes. Except with more Spandex
obviously.

Dear Jeff

I was, at first, quite surprised at
your response; one minute you are inviting me to renew my membership and
asking me for money, the next insulting me. After doing a little
research however, I have learnt that mood swings are an expected side
effect of steroid abuse. As another side effect is a reduction in the
size of your p#$%, this gives you understandable cause to be an angry
person. I have also learnt that Spandex contains carcinogenic properties
so this does not bode well for yourself and your shiny friends. If I
woke up one morning and my p#$% was a quarter of the size I would
probably take my anger out on those around me as well. There are
probably support groups or websites that could help you manage your
problem more effectively and picture based books available on the
subject for people with limited reading skills. When I am angry I like
to Listen to music by Linkin Park. The added
angst and desire to cut myself works similarly to the way firefighters
fight forest fires by burning off sections, effectively canceling each
other out and I find myself at peace. I understand that you guys usually
listen to Pet Shop Boys or Frankie Goes to Hollywood so this
may be worth a try.

Regards, David.

Dear Matthew,
Thankyou for the party invite. At first glance I thought it may be a child�s party what with it being vibrant and having balloons but I realise you probably did your best with what little tools were available. I wouldn�t miss it for the world. What time would you like me there?

Sorry the note was just to let you know that we might be a bit loud that night. The house warming is really just for friends and family but you can drop past for a beer sometime if you like.

Thanks Matthew,
Including me in your list of friends and family means a lot. You and I don�t tend to have long discussions when we meet in the hallway and I plan to put a stop to that. Next time we bump into each other I intend to have a very long conversation with you and I am sure you are looking forward to that as much as I am. I have told my friend Ross that you are having a party and he is as excited as I am. Do you want us to bring anything or will everything be provided?

Dear Matthew,
I can appreciate that, our apartments are not very large are they? I myself like to go for a jog every night to keep fit but fear leaving the house so I have to jog on the spot taking very small steps with my arms straight down. I understand the problems of space restrictions all too well. If you would like to store some of your furniture at my place during the party you are quite welcome to ââ?¬â?? if we move your cane furniture into my spare room for the night and scatter cushions on the ground, that would provide a lot more seating and create a cozy atmosphere at the same time. I have a mirror ball that you can borrow. I have told Ross not to invite anyone else due to the space constraints so it will just be us two and my other friend Simon. When I told Simon that Ross and I were going to a party he became quite angry that I had not invited him as well so I really didnââ?¬â?¢t have any choice as he can become quite violent. Sometimes I am afraid to even be in the same room as him. So just myself Ross and Simon. Simonââ?¬â?¢s girlfriend has a work function on that night but might come along after that if she can get a lift with friends.

Regards, David.

Hi Matthew,
I understand it is an exclusive party and I appreciate you trusting my judgement on who to bring. I just assumed you have cane furniture, doesnââ?¬â?¢t everybody? Cane is possibly one of the most renewable natural resources we have after plastic, it is not only strong but lightweight and attractive. Every item in my apartment is made of cane, including my television. It looks like the one from Gilliganââ?¬â?¢s Island but is in colour of course. Do you remember that episode where a robot came to the island? That was the best one in my opinion. I always preferred Mary Anne to Ginger, same with Flintstones ââ?¬â?? I found Betty much more attractive than Wilma but then I am not really keen on redheads at all. They have freckles all over their body did you know? Itââ?¬â?¢s the ones on their back and shoulders that creep me out the most.

Anyway, Ross rang me today all excited about the party and asked me what the theme is, I told him that I donââ?¬â?¢t think there is a theme and we discussed it and feel that it should be an eighties themed party. I have a white suit and projector and am coming as Nik Kershaw. I have made a looping tape of ââ?¬Ë?wouldnââ?¬â?¢t it be goodââ?¬â?¢ to play as I am sure you will agree that this song rocks and has stood the test of time well. I am in the process of redesigning your invites appropriately and will get a few hundred of them printed off later today. I will have to ask you for the money for this as print cartridges for my Epson are pretty expensive. They stopped making this model a month after I bought it and I have to get the cartridges sent from China. Around $120 should cover it. You can just pop the money in my letter box if I donââ?¬â?¢t see you before tonight.

Regards, David.

Hello Matthew,
I agree that it is not very convenient and must admit that when I first received your invitation I was perplexed that it was on a Sunday night but who am I to judge. No, I am in apartment 3B. Our bedroom walls are touching so when we are sleeping our heads are only a few feet apart. If I put my ear to the wall I can hear you. I also agree with you that having a particular theme for your party may not be the best choice, it makes more sense to leave it open as a generic fancy dress party, that way everyone can come dressed in whatever they want. Once, I went to a party in a bear outfit which worked out well as it was freezing and I was the only one warm. As it won�t be cold the night of your party, I have decided to come as a Ninja. I think it would be really good if you dressed as a ninja as well and we could perform a martial arts display for the other guests. I have real swords and will bring them. If you need help with your costume let me know, I have made mine by wrapping a black t-shirt around my face with a hooded jacket and cut finger holes in black socks for the gloves. I do not have any black pants so will spray paint my legs on the night.

It is a little hard to breath in the costume so I will need you to keep the window open during the party to provide good air circulation. Actually, I just had a thought, how awesome would it be if I arrived ââ?¬Ë?throughââ?¬â?¢ the window like a real ninja. We should definitely do that. I just measured the distance between our balconies and I should be able to jump it. I once leaped across a creek that was over five metres wide and almost made it.

Also, you mentioned in your invitation that if there was anything I needed, to let you know. My car is going in for a service next week and I was wondering, seeing as we are good friends now, if it would be ok to borrow yours on that day. I hate catching the bus as they are full of poor people who don�t own cars.

Regards, David.

What the fuck is wrong with you??? The only people invited are friends and family I told you that. It is just drinks there is no fucking fancy dress and only people i know are coming! I dont want to be rude but jesus fucking christ man.

Hello Matthew,
I have been away since Thursday so have not been able to check my email from home. Flying back late today in time for the party and just wanted to say that we are really looking forward to it. Will probably get there around eleven or twelve, just when it starts to liven up. Simonâ��s girlfriend Cathyâ��s work function was cancelled so she can make it afterall which is good news. She will probably have a few friends with her so they will take the mini van. Also, I have arranged a Pi�±ata.

Can�t wait, see you tonight.

Regards, David.
