Today is Fan Mail Friday #7
If you are not familiar with our "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette, please familiarize yourself by reading this entry before proceeding, or you may find yourself dreaming that you are a duck in love with a frog.
This week's fan mail comes from Agleteer Lynn, (The Supreme Aglet will not reveal the full identity of fan mail contributors unless specifically requested):
Sure I considered that occupation; but then I figured stand-up comics have to travel everywhere and eat plane food.
Speaking of plane food, I mean, what's up with that? If they'd just let my microwave oven through security, I could bring seconds. Buddum-bum.
I was reading my e-mail the other day when this thing pops up on my screen with the word "VIRUS" in big red letters. Big red letters? What's up with that? If you're going to infect my computer, at least let me configure the bad news to pretty it up a bit.
But seriously folks, computer viruses are a major problem. I read in the paper the other day that terrorists are planning to bring down the Internet by sending a self-destruct virus through e-mail. The only problem they have is that they can't figure out how to strap explosives onto a worm. Ding ding! Ding ding!
Woo. Okay. You know, this business of writing Aglets isn't exactly a bowl of cherries no matter how much fame and glory go with it. The other day, some guy walks up to me and stares at me for a minute, then he finally says "Hey, aren't you...aren't you the Supreme Aglet?!". "Why, yes I am Mr. Bush", I replied. So, you know, I thought I'd hang with him a bit and swap war stories.
We ended up on Air Force One and had a delicious in-flight meal. I asked the President if I could have seconds. He says, "sure, did you get your microwave oven through security?". Rim shot, rim shot...someone give me a rim shot.
So Lynn, while it's true that I did indeed consider the occupation, I looked at my material and thought twice about it, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.

Although I have never seen you, I picture you as someone who would be a good stand-up comic. Have you ever considered that occupation?
