Nobody understands what really sends a message anymore.
Once upon a time, when someone wanted to get a point across, they got a point across – a point sharp enough to circumcise a flea would whip across the recipients shoulder, stick into a wall a half-inch off someone’s ear and deliver a message impossible to ignore. So what have we come to? The refrigerator magnet. We leave our polite notes, requests and reminders in one place and hope someone sees them. We don’t take the message to the people; instead, we vainly hope someone comes to the message!
Well, I say any message not important enough to be delivered emphatically is a message worth ignoring! And if I still had a roommate – oh, the lines these ninja inspired ‘fridge-flairs could draw in the sand …
“Most Honorable Jerry-san,
You dishonor your clan-name with your gluttony! You consume like greedy hog my Blueberry Frosted Mini-Wheats. Fetch me more within a fortnight, and I shall stay the consequences of your bogarting and consider my snacks’ honor restored. Shun this dishonor’s humiliation, and your ancestors in the afterlife will feel how hard I kick your ass.
- Sleepless One
P.S. Karaoke? Tuesday?”
No one ignores a ninja.
