PERFS-ECTION

Silliness begets silliness. So forgive me for this posting.

Cambridge Savings Bank sent me an “important tax document” in that format where the letter is the envelope. You tear off the top and sides, unfold it and ... there’s your important document.

So what’s funny is that to open it, you must look at the top for the first instruction. The first instruction, it says at the top, is to “remove side stubs first.” I love that: Step two is the first thing you do; step one is the second.

A lesser delight is that these very careful instructions then say to fold, crease and tear off the “stub at the perfs.”

Tear off the stub at the perfs!

It’s the little things in life, isn’t it?
