    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    How about you made a good offer to a client, he refuses it, get's the job done 'for free' somewhere else and then asks you to fix the errors

    Emailed from a client... "We all think you logo design is just brilliant, masterful. But my wife thinks it's too simple. She played with it in Photoshop last night. Which one should we go with?" 20 attachments.
