Dear Visitor:
Last week, one of our employees suggested to us that we feature a story on The Psychological Wall Of Torture. He stated that this would not only be a groundbreaking feat, but further that Porfessional Advice! would go down in humor history as a true original.

Unfortunately, We cannot do this.

You see, the mentioned employee first heard of this alleged wall in an old copy of Utne Reader, describing this wall as "...the most dangerous of all walls in western civilization. The Psychological Wall Of Torture defies rationality while tapping direct into the psyche of anyone allowed to touch it." (Utne Reader, Vol. 3 Issue 25) No one has yet been able to photograph this wall, leading even more to it being a myth. Perhaps it is - we cannot tell at this time.

Our employee insisted - and begged us to allow him to find this mysterious wall, photograph it, study it, and finally document it on our high traffic, heavily bloated web space. We agreed to this, and he went off frolicking across America spending our money while looking for this mythical wall. We haven't seen or heard from him since.

In any event, we had to make a decision as to what to do this week. The shareholders are a bit irritated at the declining visitor numbers, increasing expenses (thanks to said employee) and big business being what it is today, well... we had to do something a bit more risk free. Luckily, Paul (our proofreader) took a course in HTML back in 1998, and Chad (our intern) happened to be reading a book about the dangerous effects of mimes. We decided to post an excerpt on The I Hate Mimes Club and would appreciate your comments.

We apologize for misleading you, the reader, and hope that you will return next week. We will reevaluate our remaining staff and hopefully will be able to answer the piles & piles of questions we have received since this overblown incident began.

Sincerely yours,
The Management
