A Petty Thief

A Petty Thief

Dear Sir,

I wish to make known that I am thoroughly annoyed by a scurilous act perpetrated by a larcenous cretin on Tuesday the 12th June at about 5 pm.

I refer to an incident in a lecture theatre where I unfortunately dropped my pen (admittedly a cheap ballpoint) to the floor under the row of seats in front of me, thus putting it out of easy reach. Not wishing to cause a disturbance I refrained from reacquiring my property until the lecture was over.

After waiting for the rows occupants to disperse I sought to locate the offending article. However to my chagrin it was not to be found. Hence it can be assumed that a member of the row in front of me must have purloined it (read as flogged.)

I can only hope that it leaks continuously over everything that you possess you cretinous, halfwitted, neo-fascist, pink-commo-lefty, national supporting chaser of big black dogs and perverter of little boys. You are obviously descended from a long line of batchelors and I don't like you very much.

Yours in fury

, Disgruntled.
