The Ultimate Rejection Letter

OH MY GOODNESS!! I have stumble on my computer at work for little blips of time I find at work where I need something short to take my mind off of other stuff. It works pretty well for that! Anyways, today I pushed "Stumble" and this came up. I can't imagine what Herbert Millington thought when he received the below letter. I couldn't imagine having the balls to send this. It was too good for me not to share with you all...

Herbert A. Millington
Chair - Search Committee
412A Clarkson Hall, Whitson University
College Hill, MA 34109

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.
Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen
