Dear Mr. Editor:
Hello. My name is Tommy Thomas and I am in the 3rd grade. My teacher says I should learn about a newspaper you can read on the computer. The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press are too far away, so can I come over to your office and watch what you do? This is called being a shadow. I will be real quiet because I know you are under really huge pressure to meet deadlines, assign stories and other really cool stuff. If you have a rule about no kids in the newsroom, can I stand outside and press my nose against the glass of your office window? I hope your office isn't on the 16th floor or something. Please let me know soon.
Your friend, Tommy
P.S. Can you teach me the chords to "Cockroach Party"?Hi Tommy.
After dusting your mail for Anthrax, and laughing hysterically for 3 days, I realized that you probably were serious about your request. As such, I would like to let you ride with our ace reporter, Mike McCarty. I am assuming your parents have you insured. Well, anyway, he'll take you out on his banged up Schwinn bicycle with a banana seat, teach you the ropes, and even teach you the chords to "Little Red Riding Hood". Dear Editor:
I don't want to say this thing (the annual Christmas Draw) is fixed, but Kathlene and I didn't even get drawn and Carla got drawn twice. Plus, Steve doesn't have to buy for anyone. I'm guessing that the Thanksgiving Turkey was basted with something more than Ginger Ale. I'm guessing the high balls were flowing. Now listen, we don't have a fancy schmancy condo in Del Boca Vista, but we'll play your little Christmas game. By the way, what is the dollar limit, so I know how big of a stick to buy for Lars.
-PO'd in LA Dear Post Office...
I got 2 words for you... It IS fixed!!! And now I got 2 more words to the rest of our readers... HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! |
