More Stupidity

This is the email I sent to L.L. Bean's customer service:

To Whom It May Concern:

This is the dumbest email I've ever sent, but I'm going to go ahead and write it anyway. About a year ago, I bought a bookmark that I believe was made out of cherrywood from your outlet store in Freeport, Maine. It had the shape of a cat in the middle. Here is a picture of the broken bookmark. I was in the area for a wedding and bought it as a souvenir. I am an avid reader and used the bookmark over the past year. I particularly liked the smell. This evening, I got clumsy and broke it. I looked to see if I could get another one, but I couldn't find it on your website. Do you still make them and sell them at your outlet store? If so, would you be able to sell me another one?

Sincerely,

[livejournal.com profile] doomsey said that it would look noticeably glued. I might as well try to get something else to replace it. It would be really cool if I could get my hands on another one though...

You must find a Master Gluer, Grasshopper! Did you try Ebay for a replacement? I found an owners manual for my 95 Harley for $1.25 (and I wasn't going to look because, "what are the chances?"

I tried ebay already.
*shrugs*
I suppose I can find a replacement for it that's just as good...

I love shopping.

Heh heh. Thanks! Guess what I bought?

My husband is so going to kill me when he sees the credit card statement. Nine bucks (including shipping and handling) for a bookmark.

Did you get THAT one?!

Yep. Why not? I needed a replacement anyway...
