Special offer, available now
I’ve just got off the phone, where I had the opportunity to make a special offer, available for a short time only. Act now. You see, my sister is about to celebrate her birthday, in just a few short hours. I won’t cause any undue stress by saying how old she is going to be, but my offer went as follows:
If you act now, in the next few minutes, I’ll call in my “older brother magical powers” to assure that you can remain forty-nine from this point on. No need to adjust your date thingy upwards each year… you’ll remain forty-nine.
Now, I got through to her on her cellphone, by using Skype. She was busy eating chicken wings, and the reception varied directly (no fowl taboo, obviously), so I don’t know if she has accepted the offer, but I’ve done my part.
Happy birthday, Sis, in case you don’t accept my offer!
