Chinese Rejection Slip
"We
have read your manuscript with boundless delight. If
we were to publish your paper, it would be impossible
for us to publish any work of a lower standard. And
as it is unthinkable that, in the next thousand years,
we shall see its equal, we are, to our regret, compelled
to return your divine composition, and to beg you a
thousand times to overlook our short sight and timidity."
