Anybody can say F@#& OFF in a moment of anger, but there is little style in that, even though it may do the trick as a vent. How about some really vile phrases or curses...fun, evil, odd, or politically incorrect.

Fun: May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

Truly politically incorrect (I apologize before hand because this is bad on so many levels): I sh*t on your mother's communion wafer.

Evil: Eat sh*t and die.

Odd: Death on a stick.

He wants all of his letters to sound professional. How can I tackfully tell him that using "proactive pursuant" makes him sound like an idiot?
