In answer to a nasty letter


Dear So and so:


You're right about one thing: Company B was pre-cast. I gather you disapprove of that and think you might have been funny enough to contribute to the troupe. Maybe you are, though I found nothing funny in your e-mail. I love funny people. And I am willing to get past the bitterness of your correspondence enough to allow that you might own and operate a sense of humor. Perhaps if you had the nerve to otherwise identify yourself, we could discuss it. You could, of course, create your own comedy company, too, but so far, other than Mystery Theatre of Wheeling, I see no one else in the area even trying to do original comedy. So, sniper mentality prevails: let's just shoot at those who get out there and try it.



Thanks for your nasty note. Write back if you think further discourse would be productive. Maybe next time I’ll be funny, too. If you pay me.
