A Variety of Gripes

A Variety of Gripes

Dear Sir,

I object in the strongest possible terms to the use of the heading Get in while you can in the Salient of 6 August 1979. This heading is a derogatory insult to Holy Islam and its marriage vows. Your caption thinker-upper is obviously a person of small brain and even tinier wit.

In future I suggest correspondents supply their own captions, rendering aforementioned wit unemployed.

While on the subject may I suggest your proofreaders be hung by the thumbs and stripped naked and lashed and beaten and whipped and kicked and left to lie broken boned in their own excrement while turkey-vultures hover overhead and squawk raucously and . . . .ahem, excuse me, I got rather carried away.

May I also point out to those of your readers intelligent enough to follow my regular column that Kathy D. has found polygamy a bit too much for her and has rejoined the Convent. (May I wish her luck?).

I remain.

Yours Most Humble and Obedient Servant,

P. O'Donoghue
