Brass Letters

Published 6/12/03

How do you make it look like your staff is better than they are? Easy.
Do what Timothy Parker does (he runs a crossword-constructing company: Give awards to your staff, then claim to have an award-winning staff!

Check out his Master Puzzles site where he lists several of his constructors as “Winner of the Bernice Gordon Award for Crossword Constructing Excellence.”

What he fails to mention is that he gives out that award!

Here’s how to do it yourself:
1. Go to a friend and have him say aloud, “[Your name here] is one of the smartest people in America today.”
2. Amend your résumé, bio, Web site, whatever to read, for instance, “Andrew Kantor has been called one of the smartest people in America today.”

Bingo — instant qualifications!

It’d sure be nice if people read more than just the title of your post, wouldn’t it?
