HumpDay Email
February 16, 2011
Greetings!

  

Spring is looming!  Just two weeks after the biggest snow storm of my adult life, we are in the midst of a pre-spring thaw, and boy is it slushy out there!  I'm not complaining, mind you.  The transitioning seasons is one thing I love about living in the Midwest, but I just didn't know when I bought my house that it would soon become ocean-front property!   

 

 Even God Laughed! 

 

I received an email this week that I thought was just too hilarious not to share!  These are letters little children wrote God.  Gotta love the innocent bluntness of these kiddos!  (Please note the misspellings are how the kids wrote them.  I thought it was too cute to correct!) 

   

Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church.  Is that okay? - Neil

 

Dear God, Instead of letting people die and haveing to make new ones why don't you just keep the ones you got? - Jane

 

Dear God, I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions. - Ruth M.

 

Dear God, In bible times did they really talk that fancy? - Jennifer

 

Dear God, I think about you sometimes even when I'm not praying. - Elliott

 

Dear God, I am an American.  What are you? - Robert

 

Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all of every body in the whole world.  There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.   - Nan

 

Dear God, Please put another holiday between Christmas and Easter.  There is nothing good in there now.  - Ginny

 

Dear God, If you watch in church on Sunday I will show you my new shoes - Mickey

 

Dear God, If we come back as something please don't let me be Jennifer Horton because I hate her. - Denise

 

Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each so much if they had their own rooms.  It works with my brother. - Larry

 

Dear God, If you give me a genie lamp like Alladin I will give you anything you want except my money or my chess set. - Raphael

 

Dear God, We read Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday School they said you did.  So, I bet he stoled your idea. - Donna

 

Dear God, If you let the dinasor not exstinct we would not have a country.  You did the right thing.  - Jonathan

 

Dear God, Please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year. - Peter

 

Dear God, Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy. - Joyce

 

Ha! Told you!  So. Darn. Funny.  My personal fav would have to be Denise's!  Sounds like with that girl you will always know where you stand! 

    

Keep reading,

The Coooommmbooooo Unit!   


Last year, I did a HumpDay email that was a spoof on the old comic book super hero.  I talked about "The Cooommmmbboooo Unit!" as if it was like the powerful alter ego of Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne.  And you knocombow what, when you think about it the Combo Unit really is a super hero!  I mean, its mounted outside the cabinet and the Power Warning Alert in it is constantly giving you important information on the presence of voltage.  In addition to the Power Warning Alert, there are three ChekVolt portals, one portal for each Line, and a voltage sniffer for you to re-verify what the Power Warning Alert tells you.  So, if the Combo Unit is a super hero then the voltage sniffer must be the side kick, and the nameplate is its costume.     

 

Every now and again we will get a call or an email from a customer who just witnessed the Combo Unit's super power.  Often, the customer will tell us that it saved him time and money because it gave an indication outside the panel that a phase had been lost, but sometimes the story is a little different.  Sometimes, the customer will tell us that when he threw the disconnect, he noticed the LEDs on the Power Warning Alert were still illuminated giving an indication that power was still present.  He then grabbed his voltage sniffer and re-verified what the Power Warning Alert was telling him using the three ChekVolt portals, which ended up protecting him from accessing an energized panel.  We've had several people tell us how they avoided injury or worse because of those LEDs.  So, maybe we need to stop calling it just Power Warning Alert and we need to start calling it Super Power Warning Alert.  After all, Clark Kent wasn't just a man, was he?

Its a
SURPRISE!!!
Well, guys, this week it's up to our wonderful Julie to decide what is the giveaway!  I'm not sure what we have on those shelves, but she assures me it's pretty good stuff and we need to make room for all the new goodies we have ordered.  So, you know the drill.  Click here to claim your goodie!

But....wait, there's more!!  (Now I feel like one of those annoying infomercial people).  Every week we do a first come, first served on the giveaway section.  This means if you are in a meeting or away from your computer on HumpDay, you usually don't get to enter in time for the prize.  So, here's what I'm going to do.  I'm going to have a special giveaway for those late comers.  As long as you get your name entered before noon on the Monday following HumpDay, you will be eligible for this awesome offer!!  Here's how it will work:  After we take the first respondents out of the list, I will draw one name from the remaining list of people and send that person a special gift from my personal secret hidden stash.  And, let me tell you, I don't mean to brag, but I've got cool stuff.  Stuff that has yet to be seen on the  HumpDay giveaway section.  Now, you know you want it...=) 
Quantities are limited.  This week's giveaway, 5 randomly selected persons will win.
