The following was found today in reader mail. It is the genuine article from the genuine sinner himself. I stand corrected in oh so many ways....
maybe you should tell the world,, or at least the folks on yr. site that the
curiously stubborn non-seat belter you mentioned so respectfully, admirably,
albeit disdainfully has long ago stopped non-strapping, and only in response to
your expression of care and concern for his safety ,, not as any kind of
trade-off or negotiation -
and yet,,,, sadly,,,, the cigars burn on -
additionally,,, as all people know,,,and i presume,, many fans also,,,,second
hand smoke is bad manners at best,, and hazardous at worst,,,, and although
this breather of smoke from others makes no bones about the smell nor the
potential loss of years you may be stealing from him (i actually LIKE the smell),,
he knows and believes that said celebrity is a responsible and thoughtful
member of the human class, and would never consciously contribute pollution
and/or poison to the home of peoplekind ,, that is to say,, she is one beautiful
and positive force in the realm of earthdom, and without peer in her strivement
to initialize growth and pleasantry among her species -
she is the starriest star i know -
here's to all things butler, and to all butler's things -
i remain
a devoted, yet blurred by smoke
fan and fanatic -
