The Check Is In The Mail
A man owes you four thousand dollars.
Every week for a month he tells you the check is in the mail. Every week it isn't.
Finally you drive over there. You knock. He opens the door, and he looks genuinely surprised to see you standing on his porch, and he says…
“Oh — did you
not get it?”
not get it?”
The thing nobody says about that
He isn't lying to you. That's the part that gets people.
He meant to send it. He means to send it now. He will mean to send it next week too, and none of that is the same as sending it — and you're the only one in the whole arrangement losing sleep over the difference.
Got a better one?
Every crew has one, and half of them can't be printed. Send it anyway and I'll decide.
