In college my roomate had to write a critique of a "Breakfast of Champions". The teacher did not like his take on the book, gave him a bad grade and said his views were just wrong. So my roomie sent his paper along with the teachers comments to Kurt. About a month later he received back a message:
Dear John:
Your teacher is an asshole.
Sincerely
Kurt Vonnegut
