From: Tripp Murray <tmurray@TMCapital> Subject: FW: All time low Please, read my email first. Then read her email, I think that she was forwarding my email to a friend but hit reply instead. You will love this. From: Mary B Callahan <mary.b.callahan@us.pwcglobal.com> Ok first-here is the e-mail I received from Tripp, the new guy I met last week. If you want to go out, perhaps we can get him to pay for drinks at Park. Since we have not slept together, he will of course be trying to impress me and will, therefore, do anything I ask. Unlike John, who fell asleep during sex last night. I went over to his place last night around 11:30. We started having sex. When I noticed his eyes were closed for a little too long, I said “John wake up.” At which, point he shot up saying “what’d I miss.” Yes, I think that is a new low. Let me know about tonight. I think you need company. —Original Message— From: Tripp Murray <tmurray@TMCapital> So are you off to the Bon Jovi show tonight in Times Square? Sounds like it is going to some turnout. What division of audit are you in for PWC? Are you heading out tonight? A friend of mine is leaving for MBA School in France so, he is throwing himself a going away party at Park, ever been? What are the plans for this weekend, recovery from the long weekend or adding just a little more hurt to the situation? Tripp Murray Associate |
