Recently I placed an order for exotic Canary Wood from a specialty supplier located in the State of Nevada who happened to have 6/4 material that wasn't available locally.
Several days later I received an email with this attachment...it's absolutely hilarious. So I thought I'd share:
Funny story, too, STEFEN.
Every one of our 6,207 hard working (and quite good looking) employees who put your order together are absolutely wiped out.
I really think you'd have enjoyed watching the action erupt when your order came through.
When I handed it to Jake, our master packager, he looked at the order, smiled, pulled out a pair of his favorite Italian leather gloves and slid them onto his hands. "Nothing but the best," he said. And off he went! As he selected your order, he placed it all on a satin-lined chariot to transport it to the packaging center.
And there's more . . .All other 6,206 crew members stopped. Every last one of them. They gathered around, lit incense and candles, and watched with hushed awe as he wrapped the entire order in the finest gold-laced cardboard and stretch wrap that money can buy. You could have heard a pin drop.
In the end, the guys were so thrilled that they wanted to throw a party just for your order.
We're talking about a big fiesta with live music, a roasted pig, and a dessert spread of homemade chocolate ganache, Ukrainian prune tortes, and cinnamon madeleines.
You should have seen the look on the UPS driver's face when he showed up. He thought he was going to pick up the packages as usual, but instead we picked *him* up and sent him crowd surfing through the warehouse while the band played. You can imagine what happened next, right?
Our neighbors came outside to see what the fuss was all about, and when they saw your beautiful order they joined in, and toasted ol' Jake who then delivered a rather moving speech on the joys of working with wood as a means to self improvement.
Someone must have called the local TV stations because the next thing I knew I had six interviews to handle for reporters who asked, "What does STEFEN intend to make?" But don't worry, your secret's safe. I told them, "World peace." Man! If only woodworking could do that!
Anyway, the guys hope to see pictures of what you make so we can have another party (I know what you're thinking). I hope you had a great time shopping at Woodworkers Source (and reading this ridiculously long hyperbole of a shipping notification).
We enjoyed every minute of it, and we've named you "Customer of the Year." That gets you a pretty good parking spot right out front if you ever come see us. So come see us some time.
Two important things before we go clean up the mess out back:
Robert, and the other 6,206 good looking fellas at Woodworkers Source.

Two important things before we go clean up the mess out back:
- We want you to be happy with your order. Please let us know if you're not.
- And we love to see pictures of what you make.
- Did you know we have an online gallery where you can share pictures of a project you've made? It's right here:

Great post!
