Yeah, um, should this be labeled "HUMOR:" or was the hilarity completely unintentional? Razz

Here's the speedy reply I received:

To: Scott Handelman <schandelman@vassar.edu>
Subject: Re: Glass Day

Hello again Scott,

You know, you may just have something this time.

Like a serious chemical imbalance or something. No really, Glass Day? Do you
realize it was those bastards from the Lebanon Glass Works that just about
buried this whole area for generations? Maybe I need to check into what our
school's History classes are teaching.

OK, sorry, I'm not trying to be rude but I've had a very stressful few days. If
you're seriously interested in helping out with some town festivities though,
how about getting involved with the St. Patrick's Day Parade? I think they're
still looking for a volunteer to wear the leprechaun suit.

Your mayor,
Pat

He just doesn't understand my vision!

My reply:

Esteemed Mayor Dobbs:

I'm sorry that you do not share my vision, or my opinion that without the Lebanon Glass Works, Aglaura would be a shadow of the town it is today. I remember my grandfather Yitzhak Handelman telling me of his grandfather, of the stories he would tell about that old factory. Like the steam pipe explosion which trapped 15 workers and how the rest banded together to save the victims like true American heroes. Or the roof collapse that would have killed the foreman if a quick thinking machine operator hadn't pushed him out of the way.

Or the fire in 1857 which claimed the lives of 8. Or the infestation of kitten-sized rats in '58.

It's stories like these that remind us of what a great town this has always been and always will be!

I would appreciate it if you gave my idea just a bit more thought; I was a bit put off by your hasty reply.

Thank you for your offer to partake in the festivities on St. Patrick's Day. I must, however, decline, as I already have plans on that day.

Here's the mail I sent (the mayor said that donuts were welcome if you stopped by for a visit)...

Mayor Dobbs,

I am planning to visit your fine town of Aglaura, NJ this summer. Since you said that your door is always open to visitors, I was wondering what kind of donuts you like? Krispy Kreme maybe?

Varin

And here's the response I got (not much help to the game, but still kinda funny)

Hello Michelle:
Actually, some Krispy Kreme Donuts would be very welcome right about now! You really have no idea.

Pat J. Dobbs
Mayor, Aglaura NJ
