Receiving Me? Editor and Chief, Bernard Bygott has been demoted to Office Coffee Minion after his clandestine plot to pursue an acting career was uncovered by fellow writers perusing the local competition. According to sources close enough to recognize Bygott in a picture (but not close enough to keep their mouths shut so that Bygott could continue pursuing a secret career as a famous actor) the caption of the picture, as well as the surrounding article, named the former Editor and Chief as an “actor” as well as a “boxer”. Unfortunately no mention of Bygott’s association with this fledgling publication was made, a clear breach of the mandatory “word of mouth advertising clause” in section 6.66 of the Receiving Me? Contractual Indentured Servant Agreement; furthermore, Bygott’s extracurricular “acting” activities breached section 9.11, which reads in part, “no employee shall seek actual paid employment now that said employee has agreed to work for ‘a sense of satisfaction’.”

Receiving Me? has attempted to gather further information on Bygott’s career as an alleged “boxer”, but, thus far, all sources have been imaginary or unwilling to stop laughing at the supposition. In the words of legendary matchmaker and promoter Don King, “…never heard of him, and his name sounds racist!”. Nevertheless, Mr. King was quick to propose a prize fight between Bygott and a “mystery client” simply known as M. Tyson, or, as he put it, “anyone else otherwise too fat to make me any money at the moment”. Bygott’s response is pending and, as he puts it, “includes crying”.

If the picture in the Inquirer is any indication of Bygott’s secret life in the ring, he’s fought below his own weight class in the past, and, at least once, he’s been knocked out by a girl.

The damning article was published in the Philadelphia Inquirer on April, 25th, 2008.
