Definitely! I think it's my favourite so far! Person Orders jumpers to collect on Wednesday, collects them on Wednesday. It's an OUTRAGE! They've even got a follow-up story about the comments left on the original article!

Ahhhh! I think you're on to something here. Not quite as effective, but she could've turned the T upside down, chopped a wing off, and presented him with a slightly more convincing L. I think she should downgrade to mashtags for a while.
