Unlike some of you, I don't get big, fast, sexy e-mails at work, because, well, I don't have a big, fast sexy job.
Still, I get e-mails by the dozen, and occasionally, I even read some of them.
I got a newsletter type memo yesterday that was about the wildfires in California, and included the following lines:
The fire has threatened 1,000 mostly ranch homes and 20 commercial properties. While the Ventura Fire Department is investigating how the fire began, they believe it may have been started by spontaneous combustion of manure from a local ranch.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency for Ventura County.
If those lines had come across my desk a decade ago, I would have guessed they were from the cheesiest action-movie pitch of all time.
Reality trumps writers all the time. This made me chuckle, so I had to share it.
