that eachof these majororderswascorrect, complete,anddelivered inatimelymanner.Youdevoted
twoSaturdaysand many hoursof overtime toensuringthatthese deadlineswere met.
Both Larry and I promisedall of you,thatwhenthese orderswere successfullycompleted,we wouldbe
purchasingthe L & T Departmenta pingpong table, arcade game and a popcornmachine.
Unfortunately,due tounforeseenlegal feesthathave suddenlyarisenforPaperclips,Iwill notbe able to
grant permissionforthese itemstobe purchased.We trulyregretthatwe will notbe able to give you
your muchdeserved recroom.
These legal feescame outof the blue andwere a complete surprise toLarry. You all know how much
