Considering our recent discussions this seemed appropriate...
this was psoted on the humour bulletin board:

From: DMITTLEMAN@bpa.arizona.edu (Daniel Mittleman)

The following was sent to me by a friend sitting on a search committee
at a university in Iowa (to remain nameless).

You might enjoy this.

A candidate for the Director of our Research Center faxed a
colleague to request a letter of recommendation. It was
accidentally faxed here instead. It read in part:

"Iowa is too wet and droll. But it's a directorship
so I should apply..."

The fax is now part of his permanent application file.
