I’m fine, thanks. I hope you are too. But if you’re not, any number of businesses in New York City will help you out. Take this one, for instance:
Self-esteem low? No problem. Just buy or rent some “pride.” Send some to your friends, too. But if you use this company, check the destination carefully:
This shipping company isn’t revealing which places have “peace of mind.” Can’t you just picture the conversation:
CUSTOMER: Please send this package to Los Angeles.
CLERK: Sorry. Too much anxiety there.
It could be, given the state of the world, that this company ships only to Bhutan, which is famous for measuring the “Gross National Happiness” of its people. Maybe they also cover a couple of communes left over from the Sixties.
Never fear. If you can’t send pride (or anything else) with that shipping company, try money:
Just a few questions first: Whose money is the app sending? To the bank’s friends? To your friends? How many of your friends? And what if you don’t have any friends at “a growing number of other banks”? Or any friends in your bank? Or any friends at all? Oh wait: Then you can rent some pride, realize that you’re actually quite popular, and zap fifty bucks through the app. Problem solved.
Beautiful! (But bear in mind, the Bhutanese happiness is self-reported, and the king is not exactly tourist-friendly).
Good point. My first draft actually had the clerk suggesting San Francisco as an alternative to LA, but I decided that the tech companies were putting too much stress on SF.
Funny stuff!
How about Sante Fe? Seemed pretty happy to my son & his wife when they were there.
And what about the Irish? Aren’t they always dancing jigs over there? Er…
Maybe Montreal? I always have a good time there, and you seem pretty chipper!
