Dear:

[BarTopDancer]

I get "ma'am'ed" a lot. It doesn't bother me.

Dear Time Warner Cable,

Thank you for not giving me the latest cable box, even though you stock them. It's much easier for me to go to your office and exchange the older one your installer gave me than to have had one in the first place.

Sarcastically,
Your new slave

Dear users of Internet Fourms:

Is there a name for this syndrome?

You post a quick offhand comment on some subject you don't really give a rats ass about and then end up getting draw into a detailed set of replies, comments, explanations and extrapolations to the point where it appears to others that this idoit subject is the be-all end-all of your world?

It needs a name.

To the Honorable Comissioner of Patent and Trademarks:

Dear Sir:

The new rules about to go into effect in November, really suck.

My brain hurts just looking at the hoops the Applicant (i.e., me, the assistant to the Patent Attorney who represents the Applicant) will have to jump through to file a Patent Application. May I be so bold to ask, just what the hell will the Examiner's be doing from now on?

I thought the goal was to streamline the process, obviously not from this end. I see.

When I saw "Ghoulish Delight has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Dear:" I was somehow expecting a reply like "It's called Moonlining". I'm glad I dodged that one...

No, I think it's called "hitting a nerve in the midst of a discussion".

Dear Moonliner,

That'll teach you to get involved in a "breastfeeding in public" argument. (Oh wait, that was me)

Dear Kitty,

Though you lack a collar and seem very well behaved you also appear desperate to come inside our house. But I don't know if you have an owner, and I don't want to steal someone's cat. Please understand.

I know. And it really hurt my feelings that you couldn't back the fact that I wanted to expose my funbags at Applebee's. It doesn't matter that they offer blankets for nursing privacy, oh hell to the no. It also doesn't matter that I've never had a child & I've never nursed. It was my right to lay those puppies out, to the left of those delicious simmering pepperjack fajitas. Asking the bewildered, blushing waiter if "he cared for a sample, and not the fajitas, buddy", was a fun topper to a lovely evening.
