In Jane's hot trail...

Yesterday I had the brilliant idea of joining a creative writing class. Since I am cheap, I figured the cheapest way to do that is to sign up with something free that I found on the internet. So off I went to "class" and my first class was to write about "I found Jane on a train broken hearted......" (Doesn't it sound something out of a Std. 6 composition). Now, since I had never been on a train let alone met Jane, I had no idea why she was nursing a broken heart. I set out into the all knowing world of google to find out why oh why was Jane on the train? Had the train broken her heart? Who was this Jane? Should I book a ticket on the train?

So I took off at neck break speed in search of Jane. After several false starts and very many wrong Jane's, I finally found the letter that broke her heart:

My Dearest Jane,

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in Love with you since the 14th of October (Monday). With reference to the meeting held between us on the 23th of April at 1500 hrs, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover.

Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent.

Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on the job training and performance appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse.

The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us. Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broadminded enough to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,
Joe

If the Post Office had lost my reply, I'd be broken hearted on the train too.

(I think I'm digging this new class)
