Man sends cat poop to companies that rejected him

St. Louis man frustrated by string of job-seeking failures

Here's a way to burn some bridges.

Frustrated by a string of job-seeking failures, a St. Louis man decided to let those companies know how he felt by sending them packages of cat poop in the mail, The Associated Press reported.

Investigators connected 20 of the stinky bundles to 58-year-old Jevons Brown.

He was sentenced to two years of probation on Friday after pleading guilty in August to a misdemeanor charge of mailing injurious articles, UPI reported.

"This is not a victimless crime," Assistant U.S. Attorney John Bodenhausen said in court.

Those victims, he said, included the postal workers handling the doo-doo, people whose mail was adjacent to the packages and the people who received them, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The temptation has been there, believe me. Since I own a hundred-pound dog, though, it wouldn't be cat poop. You still can't top Harlan Ellison, though, who mailed a dead gopher to an editor he was fighting with over book rights. From LA to NYC. Fourth class.

"Act the same way when you go in for a job interview. Let 'em know what kind of person you are. Have a beer opener and some swizzle sticks sticking out of your breast pocket. Put a little confetti in your hair. Tell him your primary career is partying and work is kind of a sideline. Tell the interviewer you'll need an office near the front door so you can leave in a hurry at 5 o'clock. 'I ain't sticking around this fucking place after hours I'll tell you that right now.' Let him know what's happening. Tell him you hope it's not of those chicken-shit places where they dock your pay just for taking off Mondays and Fridays. Then, if you still don't have the job, point to the picture on his desk and say, 'Who's the cunt?' That'll cinch it."

He is 58. I understand completely.
