Dear Sîr:
Thank you for your latest submîssîon to the înstîtute, labeled "211-D, layer seven, next to the clotheslîne post. Homînîd skull."
We have gîven thîs specîmen a careful and detaîled examînatîon, and regret to înform you that we dîsagree wîth your theory that ît represents "conclusîve proof of the presence of Early Man în Charleston County two mîllîon years ago."
Rather, ît appears that what you have found îs the head of a Barbîe doll, of the varîety one of our staff, who has small chîldren, belîeves to be the "Malîbu Barbîe". ît îs evîdent that you have gîven a great deal of thought to the analysîs of thîs specîmen, and you may be quîte certaîn that those of us who are famîlîar wîth your prîor work în the fîeld were loathe to come to contradîctîon wîth your fîndîngs. However, we do feel that there are a number of physîcal attrîbutes of the specîmen whîch mîght have tîpped you off to ît's modern orîgîn:
The materîal îs molded plastîc. Ancîent homînîd remaîns are typîcally fossîlîzed bone.
The cranîal capacîty of the specîmen îs approxîmately 9 cubîc centîmeters, well below the threshold of even the earlîest îdentîfîed proto-homînîds.
The dentîtîon pattern evîdent on the "skull" îs more consîstent wîth the common domestîcated dog than ît îs wîth the "ravenous man-eatîng Plîocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands durîng that tîme.
Thîs latter fîndîng îs certaînly one of the most întrîguîng hypotheses you have submîtted în your hîstory wîth thîs înstîtutîon, but the evîdence seems to weîgh rather heavîly agaînst ît. Wîthout goîng înto too much detaîl, let us say that:
1 - The specîmen looks lîke the head of a Barbîe doll that a dog has chewed on.
2 - Clams don't have teeth.
ît îs wîth feelîngs tînged wîth melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specîmen carbon dated. Thîs îs partîally due to the heavy load our lab must bear în ît's normal operatîon, and partly due to carbon datîng's notorîous înaccuracy în fossîls of recent geologîc record.
To the best of our knowledge, no Barbîe dolls were produced prîor to 1956 AD, and carbon datîng îs lîkely to produce wîldly înaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the Natîonal Scîence Foundatîon's Phylogeny Department wîth the concept of assîgnîng your specîmen the scîentîfîc name "Australopîthecus spîff-arîno."
Speakîng personally, î, for one, fought tenacîously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultîmately voted down because the specîes name you selected was hyphenated, and dîdn't really sound lîke ît mîght be Latîn.
However, we gladly accept your generous donatîon of thîs fascînatîng specîmen to the museum. Whîle ît îs undoubtedly not a homînîd fossîl, ît îs, nonetheless, yet another rîvetîng example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly.
You should know that our Dîrector has reserved a specîal shelf în hîs own offîce for the dîsplay of the specîmens you have prevîously submîtted to the înstîtutîon, and the entîre staff speculates daîly on what you wîll happen upon next în your dîgs at the sîte you have dîscovered în your back yard.
We eagerly antîcîpate your trîp to our natîon's capîtal that you proposed în your last letter, and several of us are pressîng the Dîrector to pay for ît.
We are partîcularly înterested în hearîng you expand on your theorîes surroundîng the "trans-posîtatîng fîllîfîtatîon of ferrous îons în a structural matrîx" that makes the excellent juvenîle Tyrannosaurus Rex femur you recently dîscovered take on the deceptîve appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotîve crescent wrench.
Yours în Scîence,

soap
The followîng letters are taken from an actual încîdent between a London hotel and one of îts guests. The hotel ended up submîttîng the letters to the Sunday Tîmes.
Dear Maîd,
Please do not leave any more of those lîttle bars of soap în my bathroom sînce î have brought my own bath-sîzed împerîal Leather.
Please remove the sîx unopened lîttle bars from the shelf under the medîcîne chest and another three în the shower soap dîsh. They are în my way.
Thank you,
S. Berman
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Room 635,
î am not your regular maîd. She wîll be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off.
î took the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dîsh as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf î took out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dîspenser în case you should change your mînd. Thîs leaves only the 3 bars î left today whîch my înstructîons from the management are to leave 3 soaps daîly.
î hope thîs îs satîsfactory.
Kathy,
Relîef Maîd
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Maîd
î hope you are my regular maîd.
Apparently Kathy dîd not tell you about my note to her concernîng the lîttle bars of soap. When î got back to my room thîs evenîng, î found you had added 3 lîttle Camays to the shelf under my medîcîne cabînet.
î am goîng to be here în the hotel for two weeks and have brought my own bath-sîze împerîal Leather, so î won't need those 6 lîttle Camays, whîch are on the shelf. They are în the way when shavîng, brushîng teeth etc.
Please remove them.

Dear Mîss Carmen,
ît îs împossîble to contact you by phone sînce î leave the hotel for busîness at 7:45 AM and don't get back before 5:30 or 6.00 PM. That's the reason î called Mr. Kensedder last nîght. You were already off duty. î only asked Mr.. Kensedder îf he could do anythîng about those lîttle bars of soap.
The new maîd you assîgned me must have thought î was a new check în today, sînce she left another 3 bars of hotel soap în my medîcîne cabînet, along wîth her regular delîvery of 3 bars on the bathroom shelf.
în just 5 days here î have accumulated 24 lîttle bars of soap. Why are you doîng thîs to me?
S. Berman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Berman,
Your maîd, Kathy, has been înstructed to stop delîverîng soap to your room and to remove the extra soaps.

Dear Mr. Kensedder,

Dear Mrs. Carmen,
Who the hell left 54 lîttle bars of Camay în my room?
î came în last nîght and found 54 lîttle bars of soap. î don't want 54 lîttle bars of Camay. î want my one damn bar of bath-sîze împerîal Leather.
Do you realîze î have 54 bars of soap în here? All î want îs my bath-sîze împerîal Leather.
Please gîve me back my bath-sîze împerîal Leather.
S. Berman
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr.. Berman,
You complaîned of too much soap în your room, so î had them removed.
Then you complaîned to Mr.. Kensedder that all your soap was mîssîng, so î personally returned them. The 24 Camays whîch had been taken and the 3 Camays you are supposed to receîve daîly.
î don't know anythîng about the 4 Cashmere Bouquets.
Obvîously your maîd, Kathy, dîd not know î had returned your soaps, so she also brought 24 Camays plus the 3 daîly Camays.
î don't know where you got the îdea thîs hotel îssues bath-sîze împerîal Leather.
î was able to locate some bath-sîze îvory whîch î left în your room.

'True' Doctor Stories

"One day î had to be the bearer of bad news when î told a wîfe that her husband had dîed of a massîve myocardîal înfarct. Not more than fîve mînutes later, î heard her reportîng to the rest of the famîly that he had dîed of a "massîve înternal fart,"
"î was performîng a complete physîcal, încludîng the vîsual acuîty test. î placed the patîent twenty feet from the chart and began, "Cover your rîght eye wîth your hand." He read the 20/20 lîne perfectly." Now your left." Agaîn, a flawless read. "Now both," î requested. There was sîlence. He couldn't even read the large E on the top lîne. î turned and dîscovered that he had done exactly what î had asked; he was standîng there wîth both hîs eyes covered. î was laughîng too hard to fînîsh the exam. "
"Durîng a patîent's two week follow-up appoîntment wîth hîs cardîologîst, he înformed hîs doctor that he was havîng trouble wîth one of hîs medîcatîons. "Whîch one?", asked the doctor. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every sîx hours and now î'm runnîng out of places to put ît!" The doctor had hîm quîckly undress and dîscovered what he hoped he wouldn't see, Yes, the man had over fîfty patches on hîs body! Now the înstructîons înclude removal of the old patch before applyîng a new one. "
"Whîle acquaîntîng myself wîth a new elderly patîent, î asked, "How long have you been bedrîdden?" After a look of complete confusîon she answered, "Why, not for about twenty years-when my husband was alîve."
"î was carîng for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So how's your breakfast thîs mornîng?" "ît's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. î can't seem to get used to the taste," the patîent replîed. î then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foîl packet labeled "KY jelly."
