Dear Professor Millington,
Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department.
This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising
field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite Whitson's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs
at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant
professor in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.Sincerely,Chris L. Jensen

Subject: Flying Dwarf Appeals Against French GroundingTo: spaf
PARIS (Reuter) - Diminutive Manuel Wackenheim wants the European Court of
Human Rights to take action against France for banning the bizarre pastime of
"dwarf-throwing".
The 1.14 metre (3 ft 10 inch) Frenchman is furious he has now lost the
income he once derived from being hurled around by burly men.
The State Council, France's highest administrative court, ruled last week
that dwarf throwing was degrading to human dignity. Despite complaints by
28-year-old Wackenheim, the council upheld bans on the pastime by some local
councils.

found while trawling my nets.... the rules of dwarf throwing.. whoda thunk it had rules (but then it is a sport and you gotta have rules in sport)

Dwarf Throwing
If a dwarf is thrown thrown through a glass window or glass door, he must wear gloves and a suitable mask.
If a dwarf is thrown through a burning hoop, extinguishers must be provided.
If a dwarf is thrown down a well, the organizers must ensure that the bottom of the well is dry, and is covered by leaves to a depth of three inches..
If a dwarf is to be thrown across the path of an oncoming train, the thrower must previously satisfy the organizers that he bears no personal malice against the throwee.
If a dwarf is thrown into a pond or river, he must wear a wetsuit and need not be tightly bound.
If dwarfs are thrown at night, they may be painted with phosphorescent paint, so that the point of impact may be clearly
If a dwarf refuses to be bound in the usual way before throwing, he may be put in a straitjacket of the requisite size.
If a dwarf utters any sound whatsoever, either in flight or at the moment of impact, the throw will be disqualified.
If a jockey impersonates a dwarf and wins a competition because his light weight allows him to be thrown farthest, he will be liable to a fine of 1000 Pounds or three years of imprisonment.
It is strictly forbidden in dwarf-throwing literature and publicity, to refer to dwarfs as 'persons of restricted growth' or 'small people'.
