Best Dressed Dismissals

Best Dressed Dismissals

 

 

rendered politely dismissed

or impolitely engaged in vacuous verbosity

brevity better sharpens the point

 

bloated words are no serenity

no levity secreted

brevity better sharpens the point

that stabs sophistication with blunt etiquette

 

goodbye is just what it is

manners notwithstanding.

This is so keen! So true it is that no matter how you dress it up, goodbye is goodbye.

Take care - Dave

It's entirely my pleasure, Jacob.

This reminds me of one thing and makes me wonder of another.
When we were kids, we heard the best put down from a woman to a man (they must have been as ancient as almost 20), and we found it so funny that we ran after her and asked her to repeat it so we could write it down. She put on a shocked and very posh voice and said "well excuse me, but if you think I am gointing to tolerate such diabolical insolence, then you are under a gigantic misapprehension. Then turned on her heel, stropped off, while smiling and winking at us. Poor guys jaw hit the floor. We practiced that line so much and it at least ten times a day.
The wondering came from knowing your job and left me thinking of some fundraising event or such that you were forced to attend and be polite to people you would usually cross the street to avoid...but now imwondering if trying to get through to some of your students may play a part here too.

So, in summation...A+ dude :)

Nothing worse than long drawn out goodbyes. That's like rubbing salt into an open wound. Best get it over and done with. Brevity has its uses and can be very effective.
