COPY WRITING

Hey Fellow Warriors,

Got a reply email from fellow copywriter Mark Andrews early this morning that he had to get emergency appendix surgery late Tuesday night. The surgery didn't go smoothly but Mark is back home now and he's on the road to recovery.

Having had my own version of that surgery at age 21, I can vouch that it's a painful recovery for a few weeks.

So Mark, I hope you feel better soon.

Take care,

Mike

Mark,

If you are reading this, having your appendix taken out is like an edit. You never needed it anyway.

Get well, be well,

- Rick Duris

PS: This is my rather feeble attempt at humor.

PPS: Did they show you the organ? That would be kinda gross, but I think it would be cool if they did.

Thanks

I wish you a quick recovery that's as pain-free as it can be, Mark! Soon you'll be back to grousing about clients again and that will be a good sign.

I'm glad you live and I pray you'll heal up just fine and feel better soon.
- Thanks

I've never been so pampered by so many hot women all at one time, it was absolutely wonderful.

Dare I ask - this couldn't have been on the NHS, surely?

Maybe he can find a cartoon picture of an appendix lying around.

He probably has.

No, thankfully they didn't make the offer.

I'll tell you what was a bit weird though...

Just before the operation, I had this bloke, this doctor examine me, he tells me that he's got to examine my arse.

Involuntarily, my body stiffened on hearing those words and every conceivable image went flying through my mind, imagining the horrors of what a rectal examination entailed.

"Do you mind Mr Andrews, please lie on your side, bring your knees up as close to your chest as you can, I'm just going to insert one of my fingers into your back passage."

Now, if you guys thought I've been a little irritable on this forum before, I can tell you right now, you ain't seen anything yet...the emotion which was running through my mind, at that split second.

Ill or not, I thought shall I just pick this asian doctor up by his bootstraps and hurl him out of the window?

Dutifully, I assured myself that it shouldn't be too bad and thought I might as well get it over and done with as quickly as possible.

Up pokes his finger - Hm, hmm, hmmmmmm.

"How does that feel Mr Andrews?"

"Oh just bloody fluckin' wonderful, I've dreamed ever since I was a young man of an asian doctor sticking his finger up my arse and wriggling it around - how the hell do you think it bloody well feels, ya bloody great goofball?"

Rolling my eyes in an arc heavenwards I could see by his grin that it wasn't such a great experience for him either (thankfully.)

All told, the doctors and nurses were fantastic and bloody good looking too (the women not the men.)

"How are you my lovely?"

"How are you my sweetheart?"

"Is there anything I can do for you my lover?"

I've never been so pampered by so many hot women all at one time, it was absolutely wonderful.

Hey Mike, thanks for starting this thread, you as always are the consumate gentleman, I really appreciate it.

My apologies too starting up a new thread, taking up more space - that'll teach me to have a look at the new forum topics first, without posting a new thread up instantly without checking first.

Best wishes to everyone.

Kindest regards,

Mark...

Now that's what you call an addict.

He's just had an operation... and he's still written the longest post on this thread.

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery so you can do more of the same, Mark.

Thanks

That's because he's high as a kite on morphine or Darvon or some other pain reliever running through his veins and brain.

Just wait... after a while the hallucinations will kick in... Then you'll see some of the best and probably funniest copy ever.

, I first of all popped one of these into my mouth, 30 minutes pass and I'm thinking, well thats not having much of an effect, so...

I quickly popped a couple more down my neck, followed by another one an hour later.

Oh my giddy aunt!

Blimey, I'm not saying it didn't feel good, it felt bloody fantastic! I was completely off my trolley for hours on end afterwards lol.

Wheeeee...

I was going to wish you a speedy recovery BUT now I am not so sure you want one

Take care Mark, get well soon.

Thanks

  Mark,
  
  Here's a suggestion (born from long nights and days after all-too-many knee surgeries): Keep a pad of paper and a pencil beside you... and jot down all those wonderful revelations. Sort of a diary-like thing.
  
  Makes great reading later on when you need inspiration!
  
  And do make it a pencil so you can write while lying prone.
  
  Dunno about you, but I get many of my best revelations just before falling asleep (turn on flashlight, write fast) and when I wake up with my head still muzzy from sleep.
  
  Dot
  
  Thanks
