Unhappy Say It Isn't So...

SPAM!? IN TIPTOE AND TEX'S BOX?! I am trying to get a grip. Who's sense of humor is that anyway?! I am beside myself. LAURIE, please spare Tip the horror of seeing such an ad. I vote for shredding... We must protect her feelings, after all her species has done for us! EGADS...

EGADS is right. Something has to be done about this and quickly.

Laurie, please destroy the offensive material. We can
chalk it up to Spam, Terrorism, Hate mail, or just plain
poor judgment. Destroy it Laurie and we will never
mention it again - no questions asked.

Thank goodness for small mercies.
I am so glad you retrieved this paper
from the mail box and have destroyed it.
Let's consider this a done deal.
Thanks Marlys.
