Daily Splatter: Hacked to Death
Dear Mr. Cliché,
I just wanted to send a note to thank you for this inspiring presentation on Fundraising. Beginning your speech with the saying, "The first three letters of fundraising is F-U-N," was a stroke of genius. Having spent over ten years in this field, I only get to hear this statement three or four times a week, and it just keeps getting better every time.
Your ideas on the topic are the "best thing since sliced bread" and truly represent someone who is "thinking outside the box." I realize now the truth in the statement "failing to plan is planning to fail" and will definitely "give 110%" to our own fundraising planning which previously has been "on the back burner."
I cannot wait to return to my team (there is no 'I' - ha, ha!) and begin implementing your ideas "where the rubber meets the road." Thank you again for "teaching an old dog a new trick."
Sincerely,
Stabbing Pencils In My Ears To End This Unbearable Torture
P.S. The first two letter of fundraising are F-U.

Did his presentation come complete with "air" quotes?

No, and that is why he is still alive.

i truly hope you at least surreptitiously wiped a booger on the back of his shirt as you were congratulating him on a job well done.
