Payback Day

[Sysman]

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)

I was told the story in the early 1990s. Apparently the VAT man got involved, but the suppliers letting the company down bit was true, so they got away with it.

There was a case many years ago of a sex toy company whose supplier let them down.

They sent refunds out by cheques bearing the name of the sex toy.

Not many of those cheques were paid in.

Some years ago I got something called the Revenge Kit (I think it might still be in the cellar somwhere) which consisted of a number of pre-printed letters which you could send to people like:

(some of them were very good)

Thank you for your letter in response to our

delay in responding - the demand was much greater than
anticipated. However, we are delighted to say that our
fitters will be in your area on and will
personally visit you at am/pm.


The body mould which needs to be taken requires an hour and
a half. At this time can you let our fitters know if you
will be requiring the optional latex ears and/or 'tickling
whisker' mask. The deposit of $140 should be paid at this
stage to secure delivery. The balance becomes due on your
satisfactory receipt of the finished item. We anticipate
that there will be a gap of some six weeks from the time the
mould is made until the Cat Suit arrives on your doorstep.
This is due to transit time between out UK offices and the
Hamburg factory.

What we really need is Payback Day, a nastier version of April Fool's day when we get back at people we really hate.

On Payback Day, you have legal immunity from prosecution for any single act of revenge committed before 12AM, provided it does not involve a direct personal attack and is reasonably funny.

Who would you get and how?

Under the terms set out above, there might be one or two people who I worked with, who would benefit from this novel idea.

My revenge would be simple.

I'd send them a card, unsigned of course, drawing their attention to the rules of Payback Day and why they were being sent the card.

I'd highlight the "legal immunity from prosecution", and explain this allowed for all sorts of really quite unpleasant revenge to be meted out upon their persons.

Then I'd sit back and let the day pass away, until the following day.

I'd send a letter the following day, apologising for the lack of action, but explain that the measure of revenge is so sufficiently complex and horrible, it needs planning in great detail, and that if they can wait another year, they would be in for a real corker of retribution.

I'd be tempted on the following year to string it out again, and again.

Of course, nothing actually would happen, but they don't need to know that, do they ?

I don't actually hate anyone. Sounds like a laugh though.
