Earlier this week I gave a lady a quote for a property survey.
Today I got an invitation for Thanksgiving dinner, but I'm sure it was a mistake.
I was one of many on an invitation cc'd to a dozen people, all with one of only two last names (his and her sides of the family?)
I must have got lumped in with the relatives because I was the last one to send an email to her.
Now I want to make a clever, but professional reply. Any ideas?
(I was also invited to come over Tuesday and Wednesday to help prepare too)
Well definitely reply to all, and just copy and paste whatever Uncle Paden is about to write.
A) Just show up Tuesday morning with a 5 lb. bag of cranberry and a 1/5 of bushmills. Let her know you're better withe sides than the turkey.
B) Reply and let her know you aren't allowed to accept lunches while on the job. But if she can make a "to go" plate, you'll be there Thursday around 2.
C) Tell her if she can't get the job done in a couple of hours and keep it under 5 hunnert, you and all the other invitees are going to talk to someone else. 2 days of prep before she can even offer the finished product. Sheesh.
D) let her know you don't need any sides, just breast meat from the left side of the turkey. Could she do that with only one day of prep?
[SARCASM]Let them know that you were selected to ride on the PLS Float in the Macy Day Parade.[/SARCASM]
Maybe they are cannibals and you are to be the main course.
Sounds to me like she has the "hots" for ya. 😉
I should bring my favorite turkey recipe that includes dousing the turkey every hour with a different kind of liquor (bourbon, vodka, etc.) and when it's done throw out the turkey and drink the gravy.
Surveyors always show up with stakes, never turkey.
Here's Sunday's idea; cc everyone of those people an invitation to one of those California Surveyor Association meetings or seminars.

True, but I've had a few rodmen that were turkeys. 😉
