That is *definitely* what the writer is saying.
Well, those Iraqis should be grateful too, you know, for all we've done for their country. In fact, the world should be grateful to us.

Dear MM
All I want for Christmas is a transporter. I've been good this year. Ok, maybe I haven't been so good - but stiil. Give me the darned transporter and no one will get cut.
Thanks ever so,

My husband gets to leave work at noon. Hmph.
I'm probably leaving at 1:30. Which, uh, means that I probably should finish revising this story and find a title, huh?

Um... Animals in (whatever shithole town) are not allowed to relieve themselves in public, even if they are fenced in on private land????
I do not think those words mean what the city council thinks they mean.

Dear MM,
If you're taking Christmas orders, I would like the nuclear thingamajob. And shrift. And if Suzi would let me borrow the transporter, I swear no one (whom we know) will get cut.
I've been mostly good. I've been grammatically correct. And I've used 'pejorative' and 'suck' in the same sentence.
oh, and I would like a faster-working St. Joseph's statue puh-leeze. Mine's busted.
Sincerely, sox

I love this quote from the woman who owns the goats:
“I kind of thought if anyone was caught having sex in public, it could have been me,” Carol Medenhall said.
And yes, the Dibble city council needs to attend a Dictionary 101 class if they think "on private land" and "in public" are the same place.

What if you have a TV that you can see through a window that's showing Animal Planet. Does that count?
