I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Thursday 9 Oct 2008 10.07am To: David Thorne Subject: Overdue account Dear David, Thankyou for contacting us.

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.03am To: David Thorne Subject: Re: Whose spider is that? Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.05am To: Jane Gilles Subject: Automated Out of Office Response Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week. Regards, David. From: David Thorne Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.08am To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Re: Whose spider is that? Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Monday 13 Oct 2008 2.51pm To: David Thorne Subject: Re: Re: Re: Whose spider is that? Dear David, As I have stated, we do not accept drawings in lei of money for accounts outstanding. We accept cheque, bank cheque, money order or cash. Please make a payment this week to avoid incurring any additional fees. Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Monday 13 Oct 2008 3.17pm To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Whose spider is that? I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it. Regards, David.

footballhenry Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Haha, wow that's hilarious. :laugh: Seriously one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 A few things... The guy who did it, did it as a joke. He was just having fun and later he talked to "Jane" (her name was changed) and she said she was laughing the whole time. He describes himself as a prankster. And the guy who bought the drawing on e-bay? That was a joke as well. he never intended to pay, nor did the "artist" expect to collect the $10,000.

Mad Mike Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Can u send me back to 2000 there's a couple broads I wanna bang again from college. Yeah, good idea. And while he is at it, send me back to the 80s when I was young, good looking, and bartending. I REALLY miss women throwing themselves at me. :laugh: BTW dude.. Check out that shuttle launch thread. I posted some decent pictures from the launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
