Not Valid for Some Values of “Today”

I got an amusing email from RightStuff about my order….

We are pleased to inform you that your order has shipped. Unless we contact you regarding a problem, you can count on your shipment leaving our warehouse within the next 2 business days.

I wonder how they would have reacted to me sending them an email upon order with the following: “I am pleased to inform you that I have paid for my order. Unless I contact you regarding a problem, I will mail a check within two days.” Somehow, I don’t think they would be amused.

Neither was I, actually, unless you count “cynically.” There’s a reason I prefer Robert, but he was out of the package deal on Cardcaptor Sakura.
