Hello Mr. Edward Spruiell. My name is Klink.
**Klink extends his hand for a greeting and does so with a firm yet subordinate grip**
I'm here in response to your advertisement for Herve's Bar & Grill Court Jester position. Do you have some time to speak with me and discuss my qualifications for the position?
**Ed shakes his head yes with some uncertainty and wonders who's been wearing his bathrobe. He quickly snaps back to reality and points to an empty booth.**
Thank you Mr. Spruiell for taking the time to speak with me.
**Ed twirls his right hand as if saying "out with it boy"**
I have 15 years experience in buffooning. I come from a long line of family Jesters. My father was a Jester, my grandfather was a Jester, and his father was a Jester as well. You can trace my family lineage back to the Courts of King Henry the 5th. Mr Spruiell I am a harlequin in full body and mind. Please notice my comical facial features, my enormous pointed ears, my stocky torso and large curly feet. These Sir can only be features birthed of a true commedia dell'arte. If I can mention, I'm always drunk, I have a tendency to insult the most callous of costumers and continually place both feet firmly in my mouth. Of coarse I come with the full compliment wardrobe, or not, depending on what's needed.
Ed bellows, "Past experiences."
**Klink searches his Jester's bag of tricks and pulls out his resume and hands it to Ed**
As you can see listed, my prior positions are with questionable firms you may have heard; Microsoft, America Online, Netscape Inc., R.J. Reynolds Tabaco Company, and McDonald's.
**A sickly smile spreads across Ed's face**
Ed barks, "References."
I'm recommended by themacko, ksuther and ksv. I believe you might know these gentlemen. Here are their addresses for claiming their first born.
Well Mr Spruiell, do I have the position?
