   I found this article on rec.humor.funny (moderated by Maddi Hausmann)
and thought this group could truly appreciate it.

The Humanist Association of Canada Spring 1992 Newsletter
contains the following item:

	For writers only -- Every writer has received rejection
	slips; too many of them for most.  The "Financial Times"
	has quoted the "mother of all rejection slips", translated
	from a Chinese economic journal.  It goes like this:

	We have read your manuscript with boundless delight.  If
	we were to publish your paper, it would be impossible for
	us to publish any work of lower standard.  And as it is
	unthinkable that in the next thousand years we shall see
	its equal, we are, to our regret, compelled to return your
	divine composition, and to beg you a thousand times to
	overlook our short sight and timidity.
