Digg makes a tired story a great one – every single time : Blog : Jamie Huskisson

So I’m reading ‘Someone From Work Left Today And His Goodbye E-Mail Was Hilarious…‘ on Digg – which was an ‘ok’ story. But I’m not one of the people who read Digg for it’s ‘up to date news sources’, but one that reads Digg for it’s absolutely brilliant comments left by users.

It was Movieman that inspired me to write this post. Check this comment he posted to add to the story that was dugg:

the funny part was cut from the original email. It goes like this:

…But to those few souls with whom I’ve actually interacted, here are my personalized notes of farewell:

To Caulfield: I will always remember sharing lunch with you, despite having clearly labeled it with my name.

To Mairead: I will miss detecting your flatulence as much as you will clearly miss walking past my cubicle to deliver it.

To Linda: Best wishes on your ongoing campaign to popularize these “email forwards.” I sincerely hope you receive that weekend full of good luck, that hug from an old friend, and that baby for your dusty womb.

And finally, to Kat: you were right – I tested positive. We’ll talk later.

…

If you ever needed a reason why I only read Digg for the comments… this is just one of the hundred’s of perfect examples.
