Dear Mickey,
I can only guess your recent comedy bit about a ghost writer named “Gupta” is a pointed barb at the Dell corporation’s previous decision to outsource support staff to India. I am puzzled why this would be fodder for your online humor since as of November the Dell corporation has proudly returned support staff jobs to America, in swift reaction to overwhelming public feedback. I am therefore hopeful you will curtail what many are probably finding a tired and overused joke. Besides, it’s not like anybody actually would be fooled by the fact you added “Gupta” to the “Posted by” tagline. What’s next? Pretending you receive e-mails from corporate executives?
Regards,
Michael Dell
Chief Executive Officer

Thank you for your interest in my humble website. However, since my Dell warranty has expired I no longer have to take any more of your abuse. Please stop harassing me.

By the way, you’re right. The whole “Gupta” thing is not very funny.
I was tired.

P.S.: I’ve heard people are still getting tech calls directed to India, despite what you said.

You didn’t hear this from me.

I’m tired with Iraq. We need to have the war somewhere else. Can you suggest any more countries we could fight? How about Chad? Get it? That’s an old one. Ha ha.
