Annoyances

Some words of precaution in dealing with anyone in business:

1. Beware of anyone who refers to his e-mail as an epistle. I haven’t used that word since writing an Italian sonnet for college. And it wasn’t clever then either.

2. Beware of anyone who wears a bowtie to distinguish himself from all others who wear ties. It’s not cute. Really. The bolo, however, means business. I can trust a man in a bolo.
