The Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation invites you to apply for their latest round of grants. Once you have satisfied the 27-point checklist for the application, you must send “one (1) original and ten copies (10) for review by Friday, January 30, 2004.” Do not keep calling to ask whether your application has been received.
I’m sorry. I’ll have to make a donation to them now or something.

Ten. Maybe I should send fifteen to be sure. Or ten tomorrow and then ten Monday. Or would that look too eager. Or would that look too eager. Or would that look too eager. I can stop, I can stop.

Can I just send a few rambling emails to the Attention Deficit Disorder Foundation with a research proposal?

yes, it’s amusing, I suppose — but the checklist is actually pretty sensible. Maybe we should now have a laugh at an organisation that aims to alleviate cancer, or . . .

… or perhaps have our sense of humour surgically removed.

sorry about my earlier dyspeptic remark — sense of humour now reactivated (with 40mg help from Eli Lilly and Co)
