The Monday Morning Memo

The writer of this ad lives in Kennewick, Washington.
The wizard sent her an email of praise and congratulations.
If more people had her wit and courage, we’d have fewer wars,
better hamburgers and NASCAR would become an embarrassing memory.

They call the trumpet “God’s Instrument.”
The instrument that takes a month to learn and a lifetime to master.
Forget that. I’m giving you the chance to own “Satan’s Instrument.”
The instrument that takes a second to hate and a lifetime to get used to.
If your goal is world domination, getting the ball rolling on the apocalypse, or simply disarming a man who’s a little too “rapey,” this miniature flute of terror will hold the game down. And how.

Brought to you by Lucifer himself, this 4SP Silver Plated Gemienhardt Piccolo will serve his evil minion well. From it’s compact arthritis-inducing body this pipe will unleash a sound that can bring entire crowds of people to their knees in pain and surrender. If you’re thinking of starting a bloody coup, leave the AK-47s and sarin gas at home son, this picc is all you need.

This instrument has the ability to sing an A five lines above the staff so crisp and clear that if you’re not careful may actually cleave your conductor’s brain clean in half. It’s highest note is one only dogs can hear, that composers have dubbed “X.”

Apart from the oboe, this is the only instrument able to kick a field goal of pain right between the goal posts of your unfortunate target’s neurons, resulting in synaptic misfires, blown mental fuses, and a complete breakdown of all left brain activity, leaving the right brain to writhe in pain and confusion whilst scrambling all bodily motor functions. Any soul unlucky enough to wind up on the business end of Beezulbub’s piccolo will instantly be reduced to the fetal position and revoked of their right to free will.

Aside from violating several Geneva Convention protocols,
this wailing weaponry can produce frequencies that wreak havoc upon others by causing:

– sudden unexpected nosebleeds
– aphasia
– heart palpitations
– aneurisms
– loss of sanity
– unexplainable rage
– spontaneous combustion
– abandonment of the will to live
– anal leakage

It’s a common mistake to think that the piccolo also has side effects on it’s user. Many claim it causes acute narcissism, but in reality the only people drawn to this instrument are already delusionally narcissistic, have serial killer tendencies, and show traits as promising future dictators.

Because of this instrument, I now rule over my own sovereign island, where I preach from balconies and lounge in my throne poppin’ bottles while getting fanned with palm fronds waved by ridiculously hot cabana boys. Tomorrow’s forecast: Whatever the hell I want.

Since I’m livin’ the dream, I’m retiring from my reign of terror and passing on the torch. Being evil is an arduous, exhaustive effort, and this musical scepter cannot be played by your average whitebread vanilla villain. Only the most cunning, dextrous, morally ambiguous, and questionably sane may apply. Who among you is worthy?

$300 obo. Willing to throw in a box of gravel and ship.

Random Quote:

“Seek the teacher who is a mentor to apprentices. She will give you expert advice and examples, then evaluate your ability to do as she has taught. Her name is Wisdom and you should always listen to her voice.

But Wisdom’s teacher allowed young Wisdom to follow any path she chose! Wisdom learned her lessons from Consequences, the greatest teacher of all.

Wisdom can give you interesting examples because of all the fascinating things she learned from Consequences. You will know you are in the presence of Wisdom when you see her scars.

Wisdom and Consequences are happy teachers who guide students through the adventures of life.

A sad teacher repeats what she’s been told, then grades you on how well you can repeat it back to her. She is a parrot, and she teaches other parrots.

A smart person makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again.
A wise person listens to a smart person, and learns how to avoid that mistake altogether.
A fool listens to a parrot, and believes what he is told.

“But wait a minute, didn’t you say a wise person listens to a smart person so they can learn how to avoid the mistake altogether?”

“Yes, but the parrot is not a smart person. She never made the mistake and learned from it. She is simply repeating what she’s been told.”

“And why is that dangerous?”

“When the experience of Consequences has been removed from the classroom, the majestic principles of Wisdom quickly degrade into small and silly rules.”

The great fire-breathing dragon becomes a tiny lizard that lives in a little rulebook.

Every bureaucrat was once a young parrot taught by a sad teacher.

But was there ever a child who, late at night, lay under the covers and dreamed of someday becoming the enforcer of small and petty policies?

No. But there are children who were unlucky enough to be protected from Consequences by a misguided someone who did not understand the value of scars.”
