A Case of Mistaken Identity

AirMail Notebook Sleeve

Cindy: Good morning, Margo, how was your weekend?

Margo: It was great. I went to the …

Cindy: I don’t really care; I was just being polite.

Margo: Oh.

Cindy: Where is that manila envelope that was on my desk?

Margo: I mailed it for you.

Cindy: You what?!

Margo: I mailed it for you. Along with the other letters.

Cindy: But that was my new MacBook Air!

Margo: Your what? Your computer? Why was it in an envelope?

Cindy: Because it’s the jazziest computer on the market — so thin that it fits inside a regular mailing envelope. That “envelope” you mailed was my new AirMail manila notebook sleeve. You know, the one designed by Jona Bechtolt (a.k.a. Yacht) and Claire L. Evans that looks exactly like a normal manila envelope, except that it has a durable upholstery-grade vinyl exterior and soft, furry fleece lining, making it the perfect everyday carrying case?

Margo: I get it; they’re pushing the envelope.
