Refusing to Take the Blame
A friend of mine sent me some of my favorite candy for Christmas (See's -- fabulous). He sent two pounds.
Of course, I had to send a proper thank-you message. We chat a lot by e-mail, so that's how I sent it. The subject line was "I'm personally blaming you" -- and inside it continues "...for my holiday weight gain...."
His reply was priceless. You can sort of tell he provides services for attorneys:
THIS IS AN AUTO-RESPONDER MESSAGE
