Thanks everyone for the killer responses… a great deal of laughter pervaded
the office today.

So I forwarded on the link that Andreas sent to me yesterday afternoon.

The client called in a fit of laughter.  Success.

It remains to be seen whether we will be able to torture the ensuing chaos
into some sort of plan for success. But hey… if it was easy, anyone could
do it.

The key will be to deliver something that we are proud of while making the
client ecstatic and still getting paid what it’s worth.

Thanks Andreas – beers on me.

Take care,

BC

I can’t believe somebody ACTUALLY sent you that email?

Ok... so I'm sure you have received emails like this from prospective
clients.

This just came in from a guy that we have worked with a couple years bac.

I swear the only thing I altered in the email was deleting the co-founder's
name.

It was just too funny not to pass along.

If any of you happen to know about a great comedic video I could send back
to him that might cause him to see the error in his ways - but laugh while
doing so... then I'll buy you a beer or two.

Take care,

BC

ps. their launch date... two weeks out.  the attachments were hand-drawn
wireframes.
