I am somebody!
I have been “recently chosen as a potential candidate to represent the professional and business community of” my town “in the Biltmore Who’s Who Among Executives and Professional Women and 2008 Honors Edition.”
Isn’t that exciting?
One problem – okay two: I’m neither an executive nor a professional. At least I am a woman, so that’s something.
After it extols my virtues, the letter ends with “on behalf of our Committee I salute your accomplishments.”
I love junk mail with a sense of humor.
I would have liked to include Steve Martin’s dance of jubilation when he discovers he’s listed in the phone book in The Jerk, but I couldn’t find it.

How'd you stop finally stop the madness (assuming it has stopped)?
In my past life as a VP of marketing I would see CV's come past my desk with these listings of "Who's who" entries. Anyone who did that was immediately excluded from consideration. I just happened to be good friends with the publisher of many of those guides and knew how things worked.
