Walking Pie Everyone




Let me introduce you to the legendary walking pie clip art e-mail. It all began one foggy day at work where I was busy looking for some good clip art for an inner office letter. Suddenly I stumbled upon this: the walking pie clip art. It was so fantastic, so irreverent, so spectacular, so magnificent I just had to share it with everyone. The following is a copy of the e-mails that were sent out concerning “The Walking Pie.”

My original e-mail to my family (may have been adjusted for spelling errors and appropriate content):

Hey, look everyone, a walking pie! Who doesn't want a walking pie? (I saw this in my clipart and thought, "This clipart works on so many levels. Can't find a clip art for the agenda? Use the walking pie. Need something inspirational for the memo? Wha La: insert the walking pie!")

I tried to paste the clip art in the e-mail but sometimes these things don’t work. Here’s the second follow up e-mail from me to my familiy:

Hi again Family,
I hope after all my hard work in trying to pass along the walking pie clipart it doesn't show up on anyone’s e-mail. As much as this e-mail makes sense it would be even better without the actual walking pie clipart.

Jake responded:

I didn't see anything. Maybe the walking pie left my screen.

I then followed up by forwarding a hard copy to all. Jake responded:

Me: "Wow! I want a job where I can sit at my desk and do nothing, just like my sister Katie the Financial Analysis Assistant".
Genie: "Your wish is granted."
Me: "Now I can sit at my desk and eat some walking pie. Or maybe I will sit here and stare at the wall thinking about some crawling cake, or some strolling parfait, or some running cherry cobbler." He said with much delight.
Genie: "Wishful thinking isn't going to make it so. You must get to work. Maybe some wondering apple strudel..."
Me: "Don't I have two more wishes?" He interjected.
Genie: "Ha Ha Ha!" The genie mockingly chuckled spitting small flecks of spit and drool.
The conversation went well into the night before he realized that it was time to go home, and that he had wasted his wishes on frivolous items such as a thumb tack and a 1.5 million dollar Verion Bugatti that can do speeds up to 250MPH. Oh yeah, he also wished for more wishes, which really does work.

Just remember that a mistake we all make is thinking that the state appointed psychologist is our friend.

Daniel then responded:

I like the walking pie, and quit making fun of those of us who have to browse through the clip art to make a living...
Also, send that Genie over to my house, I need him to make Isaac start using the toilet (slightly edited for your convenience).

Jake then responded:

Drinking lots and lots of vegetable oil will cure that. Also a continuous steady note from the harmonica will do the trick.
