I love you guys! I read one of your magazines at the Last Supper and couldn't stop laughing. Later, when I was suffering for you on the Cross, I thought of one of your articles and cracked up all over again.

Dear San Francisco Hilton,
I seem to have left my heart in San Francisco, along with my liver, gall bladder, one kidney, and a wooden pegleg (a family heirloom). Please forward them as soon as possible, preferably packed in ice (except for the pegleg, which you should send wrapped in a dry cloth).

Dear Yale Record,
