Letter to my Congressman

[AWhitneyBrown]

Dear Mr. Shays,
I have contacted you before and received an excellent response from your fine staff. I have a question now that I am hoping you can help me with.
My question is, how many children have been accidentally killed by American forces during our occupation of Iraq? You may include bombs dropped on residential neighborhoods as accidental if you wish.
I am confident our government keeps some accounting of this figure, as I'm sure everyone would agree it to be an essential element in calculating the costs versus benefits of this war.
Thank you in advance,
A. Whitney Brown
Greenwich, CT

Just wondering. You were hilarious on SNL.

2. Are you A Whitney Brown

that some day hoped to be The Whitney Brown (and his dog of reknown)? If so, I used to love your act at the Cannery.

I did enjoy the "Great Balls of Fire" routine. What was that? "One slip and it's charcoal briquettes!"?

If not, never mind.

3. What a memory!

I knew you wouldn't like it...I just didn't know you wouldn't like it that MUCH!
Roll over! Roll over! Look! He almost did it! Whaaaat...!He almost did it again!
Bang! He's a slow reader. B-A-N-G.
I will now attempt to catch this 8-ball in my eye socket. The famous, 8-Ball in the eye socket! Ow!
And remember, if you can give, give! If you can't give, don't give! But whatever you do...don't take!

Answer your question?

6. Unbelievable!

The guys with me and I were the closest shaved, best trimmed guys you ever saw at the Cannery. We caught you when we were on tour in the USAF Band in the SF area. We'd catch your routine, then go get coffee at the Ben Johnson.

Thanks for a very happy memory.

BTW, I see you're still "A". Hopefully you'll get to "The" soon. Keep scratching.

I am interested in his reply. Maybe you should have sent him my rant if you read it. I was really angry that day. Your letter was very good.
