LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To The Editor. Awesome job on the December issue Kelly! I was touched. -Mike Sand. ED NOTE: I swear, my hand musta slipped. Sorry Mike! I never meant to touch you. It won't happen again.
Ed, I just saw the busiest airport is Atlanta and second place goes to Chicago. Did the South just do it again? -Yee Haw ED NOTE: Yep... Score one for the rebs... and the only delays you find is when the Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows off the runway.
Dear Editor, Thanks for your informative article on bananas in your December issue. Although you didn't mention it in your article, surely you must also have known that bananas are good in the fight against Parkinson's disease? -Tom ED NOTE: Yes Tom. Because bananas are rich in vitamin B6, researchers say it could be so... And please... don't call me Shirley! .
Kelly, What a way to start a morning, watching you dance in elf attire! Thanks for the great start to the day... Angela and Dennis ED NOTE: Only Metro subscribers got to see me dance... Might make you reconsider subscribing (or unsubscribing) to the Metro. . I cant believe no one figured out who last months celeb was. Great job! -Gwenda ED NOTE: I assume everyone who would know the answer would take a second and submit it. However, you know what happens when you assume. ass + u + me = assume
.
SOUND OFF TO THE METRO! .
. So Editor... I need your help. I get this voice mail last night from Steven Paul laying into me about me leaving a message on his cell whining about traffic. Then, he goes on this rant listing his entire meal at some BS FLA (four letter acronym) event including the appetizers, salad and of course his Spanish Coffee, followed by a wayyyyy too in-depth detailed account of what the morning after terd is going to look like. So hey STEVE-O, what makes you think I need hear about every time your bowels move? At least my weather report didn't make me lose my appetite for breakfast. What should be my next move??? -JK ED NOTE: Aw. Kiss and make up already... Oh... by the photo, I see you've patched up your differences... Not that there's anything wrong with it!
.
. Dear Editor, What is happening to the West Side of Detroit? I drove by the original offices of the Metro (on Sussex Avenue) over Christmas break. George Ford School is no longer there, just some fenced in grass. Our church, Our Lady Gate of Heaven, is now a community church with another name. And I understand Mackenzie High School is in danger of closing in 2008. Also, there are no gas stations at the corner of West Chicago and Greenfield; there used to be three. What gives? -Losing my Detroit roots in GR ED NOTE: Not to worry... As long as the Atlas is still a family theatre, you can still have fun doing arts and crafts with the park director at Coyle park, and Rex is still hoarse and tied up on a leash, that neighborhood will still will be home to the McCarty Metro. .
Dear Editor, Those Michigan McCarty's are sure quick to brag about their trip to LA to see Leno, but I remember when I went to NY and reunited Letterman, Leno, Butch from the Little Rascals, and a hot blond. -Foe Towshop ED NOTE: Butch is dead for crying out loud. You deserve to be hit on the head with a brick for doing that to a corpse. And, by the way Foe... I see the one hand on your head, but the other that we don't see. From the reverse angle, it looks to me like you, Letterman, and the dead guy all have your hands on the hot blondes butt.... AWWW! I'M TELLING CARLA!!!!
. Dear Editor. I need your advice. My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job six years ago, He hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot the bull with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do? -- Clueless. ED NOTE: Dear Clueless: Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. You don't need him anymore. You're a United States Senator from New York for crying out loud... Now act like one!
NEVER NOTICED THIS THE FIRST TIME...

ONLY A McCARTY..... . I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog Eddy and was in line to checkout. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog... Duh! I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse, I told her no, I was starting 'The Purina Diet' again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I had awakened in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms. Her eyes about bugged out of her head. I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her. Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital. I said no........I'd been sitting in the street licking my ass when a car hit me. I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the door.

FEBRUARY JOKE o' THE MONTH . A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second. On the third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that the he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf. He decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital. He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting a personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant.... Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition. The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your round of golf didn't you! "I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past 4 hours enjoying yourself at the country club your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will be more than likely your last!" "For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care. And you'll be her care giver!" The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed. The doctor snickered and said, "Just messin' with you. She's dead. What'd you shoot?"
FAST FACT . If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

FACT #2 - A McCarty is definitely not an average human being.
