Copy messenger Ryan Checkeye writes in his farewell note to colleagues that "this has been, without question, the strangest job I've ever had. ...Callers have threatened suicide, questioned my patriotism, reported UFOs, accused me (and Matt Tully) of stealing their thoughts, and peppered me with ethnic slurs. I once found an 80-year-old Pulitzer medal in a box of trash ... I've received mail from a man who tried to murder Princess Anne of England 'as a joke,' letters about time travel, and bizarre artwork (Bin Laden and McCain jousting, now hanging on my wall)."
