The following was  submitted by someone who checks out this page regularily. (THANK YOU.) NO NAMES are mentioned and I don't take any responsibility for the veracity of the following account. And of course I DON'T KNOW the people involved.

Just read and wonder (and use your imagination).....

********************************************************************

Let's say there was a person somewhere in the USA who had  - on a cold day in February this year - nothing better to do than scan the net for interesting tid-bits and pieces of gossip. Out of curiosity this person put a name in a search engine - and the engine popped up the most interesting bits and pieces connected to this name.

Then an idea formed in this persons head. This person drafted a letter - of course none of the persons mentioned in this letter ever existed. But this person made them sound so real - the recipient was wanted for a TV ad - that the recipient of the letter was all for it the moment the letter reached him.

Little did he know that it all was only a joke.

The recipient of the letter phoned a person he had hired to get him work. He told that person to phone the person who wrote the letter telling this person that he was very, very interested.

No name of a company ever had been mentioned but obviously  - in the recipients head - an opinion had formed about WHO wanted to work with him.

Soon the talks revolved around money matters - the writer of the letter mentioned a sum  out of the blue - and the recipient was elated. That was a whole lot of dough - even for someone like him.

Times, dates and places where set - the recipient tried to negotiate with the writer of the letter about dates - obviously the recipient had other (well-known) obligations to fullfill - but the writer wouldn't budge and - wonders never cease to happen - agreed. Of course, the recipient asked for his special make-up-artist and hair-stylist to be included. He never worked without them. Of course, why not?

With a heavy heart the writer of the letter decided it was time to pull out of the whole thing - after all it had been so much fun and the writer really, really had enjoyed it. A few days later the recipient learned the truth and was - pissed. Really pissed. He phantasized about someone out there plotting a conspiracy against him.

But sorry, it was only someone making a joke - a mean one - but a joke after all.

Apologies were exchanged (not that they were heart-felt but they were a necessity) just to follow rules.

The writer of the letter returned to his old life again musing about how easy it was to PUNK@ one of those celebs.
