Back in Their Court

Ok, so I finally got around to replying back to Irish Spring. This post will also sum up the whole "Irish Spring" series, as it contains all the email traffic so far. Enjoy:

Dear Laura,
I'm quite concerned over your current workload. Upper management must be working you to the point of exhaustion, which would explain why you fell asleep during the portion of my email containg the English Language. Try and stay awake while I break this down for you.

My original Email:

Hello people at Irish Spring!
I would think this is a busy time of year, what with St. Patricks Day coming up, so I’ll make this brief. I'd like to inform you of a recent discovery that you may or may not be aware of.

I was taking a shower the other day and I lathered up to wash my face. The hot water temperature fluctuates here, and as I started to rinse my face, the water got extremely hot. Trying to avoid scalding facial burns and disfigurement, I sped up to quickly clear away the suds, and in the process, got a rather large amount of "Irish Spring Micro Clean" suds up my nose.

If nasal lather exposure is an area of research and testing that your company has shied away from, please learn from my experience: it's unpleasant. If you have tested this area of exposure, I wonder, were your findings similar to mine?

Clean and Curious,
T. Slim

So, Laura, if you've been awake thus far, you can see my general concern for your health and well being. If you'd like, I can go ahead and shoot an email to your boss about how hard you've been working lately, and maybe he can cut you some slack and hook you up with a 3-day weekend or something.

Just let me know what's up,
Your Friend,
T. Slim

Once again, I'll keep you posted.
