Do you want to prove to your office mates that you've got an acerbic wit and great sense of irony? This Paper E-Mail isn't the way to do it. Sure, it's clever to write notes to Bob that look like emails (cc: your mom!), but is it really clever? Is it $3.99 clever? Perhaps. Is it $3.99 plus shipping clever? Perhaps not. Either way, you only get 50 chances per pack to impress. [ThinkGeek via Tech Digest]

It's clever enough for me to "borrow" the idea, re-create my own & run off a crapload of them on the high-speed color machine at work! Thanks Giz, yer the bestest.
The icing on the cake would be to fax it to 'em.
"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Just the fax, ma'am, just the fax"
@FubarGuy: Does it really need to be yellow? Black and white seems fine to me. Just saying.
Black and white is for n00bs.
I send all my emails in #ffffff and #000000
Very postmodern.
This reminds me in no way of all those people who print out all their emails.
@nutbastard: Ideally they'd have an efax account so the fax would come through their email in PDF format. Oh, sweet, tasty irony.
i would probably not have the energy to walk over to their desk just to send them a note so i would scan it and email it to em instead....
As an IT guy I should have this on my desk. Do you think they might have them at Staples, or maybe Spencers?
Anyone who wants one can easily make something similar with tables in Office.
@Kaiser-Machead:
no need for Office, MS Paint FTW.
@Kaiser-Machead: Indeed: $3.99 +S&H... or use your office's paper and toner for 'free'.
Until your supervisor walks up with a paper stack of 'e-mails' demanding, "WTF are you doing?"
Wow, they've invented the memo...
@electrikecho: or get 50 people to pitch in for it or just buy one and make copies at staples or off of your office's copy machine.
IDK why people or how people would find this entertaining. I dont even see it worth the $4 + S&H but to each is own right.
