Underqualified

Even some of my most loyal fans won't know that I own an all-Harvard tutoring agency. One of the applicants was Robin Toler '09. This was my response to her inquiry:

Re:Underqualified...for now!
Robin...Robin...Robin!

Despite your tremendous enthusiasm and very cute picture I'm afraid I cannot, will not and shall not admit you to Overqualified without a very good reason. You are '09. That means you haven't even started Harvard and given that pretty much the only requirement for Overqualified is that you be a Harvard graduate...I mean what if you don't like Harvard and transfer to Missouri South-Western and then we have a Puma or whatever in with all that Crimson then I have to remove you from the group. It's all very messy. So I'm going to need a firm reason like you already know you want to move to LA and become an actress and are only going to Harvard so you can work for Overqualified on the side while you're out here. Unfortunately that one has already been used so...get creative.

Lovingly,
Hunter A. Maats
Your harsh but fair founder of Overqualified

Then I read this on her profile:

"Every woman should have four pets in her life. A mink in her closet, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger in her bed, and a jackass who pays for everything."
-Paris Hilton

And responded:

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I take it all back. I just looked at your profile and realized you'd quoted Paris Hilton. I should never have doubted you. Again I am so sorry.

I am the jackass.
