Refusal to Accept Refusal!!

Sometime back I had come across this funny comment at /. Just too funny!

"Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.

Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants."

if you are familiar with businessweek boards you will see a similar 'reject' letter for applicants to send to business schools who deny them. Very funny, I actually used a version of it in a stand up comedy performance I gave at wharton!
 
Hey Alex: That'd be cool to look at. Gimme link sometime!
 
LOL :0 that is so funny!!
