Take that So-and-so!

When I was growing up (and even now) my parents would always read the community announcements in the local newspaper. Soon it became a big joke. "So-and-so made the Dean's List at a prestigious university. Why can't you be more like So-and-so?" or "So-and-so just signed a multi-million dollar contract with an internationally renowned company. Why can't you be more like So-and-so?" or "So-and-so just got married and gave birth to a three head baby boy. Why can't you be more like So-and-so."

My sister has drafted the following press release..."Lenni '03 of Washington, DC, swell person and spiffy dresser, was much sought after by United States Peace Corps. She is leaving an editorial position with ESA to provide edification and illumination to poor, starved masses in Bolivia. PS, she will be saving the environment too."

Ed note 12/6: After a coworker found this mock press release in a Google search, I feel compelled to specify that it is most definitely an exaggeration, but sadly something that my hometown newspaper might actually print.
