Funny Letter for Your Tuesday!



I am sure many of you  have seen this,  but I had not so here you go!






This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company


Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets


rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors'


choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.




Dear Mr. Thatcher,


I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years


and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core



or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa

dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach


in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your


revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough


to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell


you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16


in my pants.




Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from


the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is


starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces


violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body


will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call


'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?


As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen


quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers


monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the


bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood


swings, crying, jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize


it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend


Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into


a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's


Anatomy was written by a bunch of drunken chimps,Crazy!







The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just


crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the


reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so


painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I


opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing,

were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'







Are you f**king kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny


middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing


happiness is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned


above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless


you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything


'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and


Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to


the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to


end your life in a blaze of glory.






For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a


moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say


something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or


'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong', or are you just picking on us?


Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective


immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have


chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will


certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your


brand of condescending bullsh*t. And that's a promise I will keep.





Always.  Best,


Wendi Aarons


Austin , TX

OMG! Can you imagine receiving her letter? I think I would have looked over my shoulder. Not that I could not relate on certain things. I love that part where her body is being transformed by hormones. Hey maybe that is where they got the idea for the Incredible Hulk. Imagine if guys had periods with all the aggressiveness. I do believe the human race would be obliterated.
