Letters to the Editor
Issue II
Letters Policy:
Basically the only thing we have
to officially say is this, "Your letter may be directed
to another member of the staff, rather than I, the Editor in
Chief, answering it. This is done to insure that you get the
most highly qualified answer that we can possibly give.
Also, sometimes I am on vacation
every week or so.
And I, the Editor in Chief, reserve
the right to edit all letters posted. Sometimes the "colorful"
language has to be omitted because it it causes nice elderly
church ladies thump their Bibles too hard. And with their fragile
and delicate fingers, this causes considerable pain. And since
we love and respect them dearly, we choose to save them from
such pain so that they can continue to bake us cookies."
Your's truly,
The Editor in Chief.
Letter 1:
Why did you guys start this
publication? And why use humor?
Sincerely,
a non-visitor.
Dear non-visitor,
After looking at the world around
us, we decided that there was something terribly wrong - that
there is not enough entertainment in our society.
And this entertainment deprivation
is ruining our children!
We have seen research that kids
are getting more and more bored quicker and quicker. We have
to keep up with the demand if we are going to save them.
And we hope that this publication
will start a new trend in America (and possibly the world?) of
targeting entertainment mostly toward the children.
Because they need escape from
the reality of this cold cruel world.
And as my old Grandpappy, Alf
A. Mael, used to say, "If you can't beat them over the head
with a Bible, slap them in the face with humor and knee them
in the groin with sarcasm."
However, I am old Grandpappy's
only convert.
And I still walk with a limp.
But I'm saved!
Praise Jesus.
Hope this helps,
Editor in Chief
Letter 2:
I followed a link I had just
randomly uploaded to sackcloth
and ashes, and
accidentally arrived at your site. While there, I chanced to
read some
stuff which by pure luck, I found quite amusing. Of course, all
of this
means nothing, it's just that I evolved that response to that
sort of
stimuli, never the less, it is likely to increase the frequency
and the
duration of my visits to your site.
Having no idea at all why
I wrote this,
Beanfarmer
P.S. - Who are you guys? How
many are there (of you) and how high is your therapy bill?
My dear Mr. Bean,
Stop trying to figure out why
you wrote this, or anything else for that matter.
You see, your brain is merely
molecules randonmly fused by random chances which were kick-started
billions of years ago by a chance big-bang event.
And the events which you seek
to make sense of are just links in a chain, which are soley dictated
by the links before them, and so on, and so on, all the way back
to said big-bang which had no reason what-so-ever for happening.
And that, my friend, is the meaning
of life.
Hope this helps your confusion,
Ediror in Chief
Response to P.S. - We are a small
group of individuals whose number here at the institute fluctuates
depending on the soy-bean market. However, all of these individuals
inhabit just one body - mine (the Editor in Chief).
And as for the cost of therapy,
it is $21.95 per month for unlimited internet access.
