Orphan Children

Todd Hughes

>On Christmas Day had a friend tell me about some orphan children across town he had heard had inherited some tools. Decided I had better check into it. Got there a little late having to drop some puppies and kittens off at the Vivisection lab and then a defective balsa wood crutch which I had I sold to a crippled Nun on a time payment.Finaly got there and found a few tools.They wanted some bread and milk for them but after feeling bad about paying the price with out haggling the old widow woman wanted last week for her tools I talked them down to a couple of candy canes,which I had gotten from a Salvation Army bell ringer when he wasn't watching.Don't want to hear anything about taking advantage of some weak feable kids, heck after I showed them how to work the jack they rotated my truck tires for some stale cookies with no trouble! ......Todd

You forgot to mention.....

Jeff Schmidt (KY)

>.....that the complete set of cabinetmaker's tools came in a toolchest all owned, used, and carefully cared for by their great uncle and that you are going to part-out anything that can be disassembled and sell everything off individually on ebay.

Mark Twain

Jay Samuels

>Todd's satire puts me in mind of a Mark Twain piece - something along the lines of "The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut" where Twain strangles his conscience. Well worth the effort to find in your Twain anthologies.

Thought you had to stay at least 500 yards away from kids or schools when "dealing" tools?

Todd, I'm appalled and disgusted!

Greg Phillips, Berrien Springs, MI

>Lest I appear to be totally without a sense of humor:

*****

I don't want to beat a dedhorse here, but I can't believe you have the nerve to do all these sick and evil things and then come gloating around here! You even have the gall to document the process while it's occuring and post a picture of one of the sorry little buggers getting ripped off! I'd quote someone who already mentioned that you're a bad man, but then there's been a restraining order filed that prevents me from doing so. If you don't change your ways, you're going to drive poor Cooper to drinkin' (and to the poor-house) in his efforts to restore moral equilibrium to the universe. Turn from your wicked ways now, while there's still time!

*****

Todd, I'm sorry for reacting emotionally to the "Old Widow" thread. It hit a particularly sensitive nerve. Even though we disagree with one another, I should have disagreed more agreeably! Peace?

Happy Holidays to all!

Greg
