As last time this too is from a team building comptetion we had at our offsite. The rules of the game were that one had to write a suicide note which should include the following-
- Not more than 80 words
- It should have one Name
- It should have two places
- It should have threee animal (Air, Land and Water)
- It should have four things
So this what I wrote and it was appreciated generally by the audience and also got the prize-
Hi Helena,
When you saw me naked holding our dog by the rear and I said “Oh Fish”, it wasn’t because I was doing the dog, it would be cuckoo. I wasn’t doing our fish either. I was ironing my trunks for my trip to Los Angeles when the dog pulled it down and the iron fell from the board on my “thing” and I ran to fetch some Ice from the kitchen when you saw me.
But that is not the reason why I am commiting sucide; I am treading this path out of embarrasement. During my interview with the firm from Argentina when they asked me for my testimonials; I probably showed them the wrong thing.
Embarrasingly yours,
Spartan
Ps. This post might be greater than 80 words because I am trying to recreate it from memory. During the contest I had great help in editing by a dear collegaue Aishwarya who ensured this was compressed within a limit of 80 words.

@MomofRS: You know actually I was a bit apprehensive when I narrated this note in front of the entire audience which included partners, CEOs and other big shots as it was a bit explicit. But then it worked with the people and I am glad it could make you smile too 🙂
