Alan, I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly. I knew the positive wave action off Dog’s Beach in Del Mar would result in significant progress being made.

 

I think we are about 24 hours away, hopefully no more than 48 hours from being able to “ink” a deal. I must though first run this by my wife as well as my one attorney-colleague Jeffrey Krinsk who when not playing “pong” with me serves the “right angles” to guide me; more so today since he happens to like the person who is entrusted with the family’s crown jewels to mention little of Marie Dion Gevisser now being MD as in Managing Director of GrubbyGrub and GirlieGirl.com which is geared toward keeping all momworker63s, widows, orphans, pensioners and most importantly the kids out of the “poor house.”

 

And now that I am married to a woman who can count as well as paint rather well she may very well have more sway over Mr. Krinsk who may think with the injury I sustained while playing “touch rugby” yesterday I am all but washed out.

 

Quite a bit of “back & forth” has gone on today including my having finally got through some 258 pages of more than your average Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit [SCAL] complaint with some 54 pages of exhibits all in preparation for my 1:30pm PST meeting tomorrow with Mr. Krinsk who undoubtedly is hoping that I wasn’t distracted by all the other stuff going on that might interfere with my ability to “speed read” which will cost him more than a penny but less than $126,000 since I accomplished the task in well under one hour.

 

Earlier I spent some 51 minutes on the phone catching up with a guy I last remember seeing when he, his twin brother and younger sister used to walk hand-in-hand going to synagogue in Durban, South Africa some 35 odd years ago. Mike Sagorin is someone I have only recently started communicating with and hopefully we will all get together for a reunion of a different sort when he visits with us in the next couple of days once he has determined what will be the right sort of t-shirts for the launch of our worldwide franchise operation that will empower the kids to not only parent the parents who need the most help but have one hell of a good time doing it while throwing mud on the parents’ fronts and backs.

 

The clothing game is about 75 to 85% “fronting companies” but folks like Mike who used to run production for clothing companies like “Oh Neil dNA BilL-bong” [sic] rarely if ever get into the mix of all the “over and under” invoicing games that makes the rich get richer and the poor get poorer with the rich not only making out all the way to foreign banks but in their wake attracting some of the best looking women in the planet who think that money and brains are complimentary when it will only lead to bad looks especially as we unfold more Revlon Make Up cartoons.

 

And it goes almost without saying to mention little of there being no coincidences in life that those who have stolen the most tend to get uglier relative to their spouses and of course there are always exceptions as well as why people like Derrick Beare and I made certain that just because we weren’t born with the best looks the spotlights would always be on our wives who as we age gracefully together will always be able to find a young stud to manage the farm since statistically us guys should kick the bucket before those especially with beauty and brains that have not been interfered with by over controlling individuals.

 

And most would also agree that those who have consumed the most, spilling forth their kuk alternating between their mouths and their rear ends tend to shit the most and of course those who have been the biggest pigs at the trough have smellier shit than say my dog Pypeetoe who along with Marie really keeps me on my toes. When you and I previously spoke Marie and I were on our way to get married and it would only be right that you get something out of what was the amazing “send off” and of course you are having to pay somewhat of a price by having to labor through this email to mention little of the hyperlinks that should keep you busy until you next hear from me.

 

Now, if you don’t believe me about the clothing game moguls just ask any of their wives or ex-wives to mention little of their girlfriends waiting at designated ports of call as they go about stealing other more creative peoples’ ideas while issuing instructions to their fabric vendors where to make the necessary cash drop offs.

 

So far the number of folks I know who are big wigs in the schmutter business around the world who have congratulated me on marrying what I think is the most talented and beautiful woman in the world amounts to a whopping zero. And make no mistake a representative sample of these “shit heads” are part of my email list. To be clear on this point Mike Sagorin only ran the North and South America production for “Bill-Bong” [sic] whereas he ran all of production for “Oh Neil” [sic]. He got his basic training in South Africa at one of the clothing companies that is today part of the “Desire Lingerie Group” [sic]. 

 

My step-father Alan Zulman co-founded one of the companies that falls under the umbrella of what is today a rather large, relatively speaking that is, clothing conglomerate. Back in the 1960-1970s South African Clothing Industries [SACI] was highly regarded on the list of efficient clothing manufacturers where one “could eat off the floor” producing something like “30,000 garments of hit-s a day, 3500 different styles a year” [sic] and of course there was no guarantees that although the bathrooms were spotless, controls up the kazoo that to save on toilet paper the sewing machinists who smoked the most potent pot known to man commonly known as “dagga” didn’t simply wipe their kuk on the inside flap of the labels, hence today why some manufacturers may choose to weave the label right into the fabric leaving disgruntled employees having to seek more creative measures to vent their anger as the top wigs with their dogs to boot parade foreign dignitaries through their factory floors making a big deal about nonsense such as “spotless” floors while the workers go home to shacks and some popcorn on the cob while the big machers make off like “band-ids” [sic] to places like Vale, Porto Banus, et al while stopping off to count their ill-gotten gains in places like Zug, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Cayman Islands et al having forgotten from where they come especially those of us who lived just around the corner from places like Cato Manor just a hop-jump-and-scotch from the University of Natal South Africa where I passed the time thinking, “My time will eventually come when I will sock it to these rapacious pigs and then sum” [non-sic].

 

Now of course I learned more than a thing or two from my nannies who picked up after me giving me breathing room to do what I do best today, i.e. contemplating my navel and of course I remain a Yid with a healthy id.

 

SACI were [sic] not only the first company in South Africa perhaps in all of Africa to introduce the STAMP system, a time and motion study specifically designed for the garment industry that made little more than no sense at all when one considers that a critical component in the cost of goods, i.e. the fabric, was nothing more than make believe, the financial bigwigs deciding right at the point of purchasing the fabric from offshore companies exactly how much was going to remain in their hands, how much to share with their ignoramus shareholders, to hell with their employees who were nothing more than slaves of a State controlled workplace who decided someone’ status by the “crinkle” in their hair to mention little of no top dog in their right mind paying their fare share of taxes while giving token amounts to charity that had them plastering big smiles on their faces all the way to Timbuktu which is where I plan to deposit these folks and their offspring unless they start to get with the program and begin anteing up big time, as in “If not now then when...?”

 

Of course some of their systems made a whole lot of sense and of course not all white folk were rapacious, my father one of the few exceptions and of course my mother made more than a nickel in her time but she too gave plenty, certainly more than the average “Blow Joe” good looking housewife who flipped cards while drinking our family’s brand of Gipsy tea and coffee while gossiping mostly about my mother who had grabbed the best looking guy in town with the golden name to boot.

 

Perhaps those few rapacious who remain in South Africa wanting to be the big fish in an ever decrepit pool might be also interested in part of their payback to society giving a hand to manufactures elsewhere in the world who want to improve say sanitary conditions in places like along the Inka trails on the way to Machu Picchu, i.e. how to make certain that the next person to visit the toilet whether it be me or my dog would “split” on the person before who failed to clean up after themselves, God forbid they used more than one sheet of toilet paper.

 

With all that said, you might also find it of interest how when need be I am able to get folks who play it “fast & loose” to focus even in obscure places like Minehead, England who are tasked with taking care of one of my remaining assets assisting them in mitigating their short hairs getting tied into knots, at least not on my nickel to mention little of my grandfather’s watch and of course Marie is going to blow your socks off when she shows you what she has done with some of her lingerie stockings while I wonder about things like splitting atoms “piece by peace” [sic] and why hairy things like spiders have 8 legs as opposed to other insects who have 6.

 

After some 30 odd years Israel Gevisser’s estate recently got wound up with an offspring of the man we knew as The Pig raising his voice just a little too high for my liking and of course I hope to be comforted by Sidney Lazarus that he was just peeing at the time or possibly thought that my father suffered from some hearing loss which is all plausible but I am looking for the Lazarus offspring to now be laudable in their efforts to make up for the shortcomings of those that came before that now have them in the pound seats.

 

Israel Gevisser was a founder of the Moshal Gevisser Group of Companies and of course I am now all wound up, ready, eager and quite able to get down to business.

 

Thanks again for your speediness and a deal that is as close as it gets to making good sense to me as well as your client. I also need to communicate with my tenants who could very possibly decide to play “hard ball” with me and “blow up” the deal and of course just like Gary Glass got the message in my “watch out” email to mention little of his subsequent little speech to his ex-wife as he handed over a check, “Now tell your friend to get off my back” should any tenant decide that I haven’t been quite fair enough then I will take their peeve to the court of public opinion, pets to embrace which reminds me I need to make that call to Kathy Keeton wife of the publisher of Penthouse Magazine.

 

I will be contacting Shawn first thing tomorrow morning to get me the email addresses of each of my tenants and I don’t think it should take them all of 24 hours to get back to me to let me know how appreciative they are of my being such a good landlord all these years barely and rarely increasing their rents while forcing me to live in the “poor house” below the likes of Sammy Haim who I had hoped to communicate with today informing him of an offer that I don’t think he too can refuse.  

 

Alan, you must understand that since my time is limited I have to use all the leverage I can get out of each and every communication, remembering that I am appealing to an audience of some 360 odd individuals who trust me represent a statistically valid sample of the world’s population which I heard earlier today is almost 6.3 billion.

 

Gary

Gary, thanks for your cooperation in trying to put together a successful transaction at 1431 Stanford Ave. I'm waiting to here from by client. I will get back to you as soon as possible!!!!!  By the way, Shawn was very helpful in showing the units.

I just spoke to my client...... here's his offer. He would purchase the building "as is" no more inspections!!! No termite, no contingencies at all. All cash to you, 60 day escrow, or sooner or longer, just depends how long it would take to vacate all units. Sale price $X which encludes a $X commission to my company.

If this is satisfactory to you, I will procede to write the offer and get a deposit check from my client.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you again for all your help.

Sincerely, Alan Friedman
