Me too Of course the urge to kill varies in direct proportion with my mood and the degree of obnoxiosity of the asker And there is the threat of being jailed for taking the greeting literally because nobody who isn’t dangerous would ever answer a greeting question with anything but an equally noncommunicative reply which is usually a damn lie actually of a We inquire as to the neighbor and expect him or her to lie We get nervous when they answer our question with the truth If wedon't want to know the answer why ask the question? Go figure And what do we do with the ultimately cool “yo"? Is “see you later" a threat or a promise? Is“sceya"one word or two? When somebody says "don’t do anything I wouldn’t do" are you tempted? Does "see you around" have something to do with food? And what of the more exotic “don’t take any wooden nicklcs" "keep your powder dry" or "I’D see “catch you on the you in court"? This is w hy a Constitutional Amendment is necessary Our jail (ever think of it that way?) are already full of lawyers politicians and Financiers There isn't room enough for us common folk who merely want to bile off the cars of people who insist on being cheerful while we’re in Write IQ vour Congrpsgqeinurc Insist it take actiofc rfow Thank you for your irt—ftwv tirck tiHiuiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniitiiHiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiHiHMttnittwiHMHiwiM— 3P What does that mean? We call these short phrases "endorsements" The Postal Service and its customers use several They tell us what special action the mailer wants used to take with that particular item “Return Postage Guaranteed" tells us that the mailer wants the package back if you don't want it or it cannot be delivered It is an instruction to the US Postal Service Often this instruction is misunderstood by you the customer Once delivery is made the instruction can only be Julie Ward Goeru - Design Sales & Accounts Rec Riley Wood Rita Robinson Sales Fillmore I was unable to Find "Chao" in any of my reference books however I mangled the spelling including this months Playboy magazine although I studied very hard My references also failed to say that none of these words can be properly People twang pronounced without with colds like Willie Nelson can say “howzit hangin’?" better than normal Postmaster TomHamlton Reporter Mallet you? by Advertising Evelyn to being killed extraordinary punishment should be written into law for certain kinds of people who use the HaND word like tax auditors used car salesmen TV repairmen highway patrolmen who catch me when I’m speedtook ing and that smiling jerk who just my parking space at the mall This is not a "tempest teapotus" Consider how extensively inane greetings have affected our culture Consider a Howdy Doody a puppet named after greeting Consider the hit musical play “Yo Howyadoon?" This proposal transcends cynicism I believe there is a version of HaND in all human languages And I believe in all human cultures people would dearly love to wring the necks of grinning twits who cheerfully wish them to (expletive deleted) right after they’ve had their car towed away or root canal or discovered they have AIDS Details of the proposed Amendment need to be worked out because there are grey areas Forexample should we also ban “Have a Good One?" I’d like to hear some debate on this Nobody ever says "Have a Good Two" and it’s possible that while HaGO is a variation albeit limp of HaND it may also have some esoteric religious or erotic connotation that so far escapes me Your input would be appreciated What about common hand signals? The Italian gesture and the Hawaiian good luck sign are often exchanged in friendly greeting Ixtwecn citizens who share the common bond of being stuck in the same traffic jam These signals are universally understood variations of HaND What would be the impact of banning them on the NFL? (I wish a long winter with a short blanket for the First reader who points out HaND is just a variation of greetings a civilized social means of mutual recognition between people I’m having fun here Knock it off) No one uses the generic and bland “greetings" since the dtaft was reinAt the same time “season's stated greetings” is recognized by chambers of commerce the world over as an effective — means of irvhirBtg ci:izens to do their Christmas shopping at home Or is it a — variation of HaND? Figure this: You’re driving through the West Desert and you pass an RV driven by the only other human being within 90 miles The driver wiggles his Fingers at you as you pass Why? Did he come all the way from Canada to wiggle Postmarks man knows when he Is Justified and not all the wits in the world can enlighten him on that Henry David point” ST J his fingers at you in the desert or is this some kind of foreign distress signal meaning “Help! I’m out of beer!” Most likely it's a variation of HaND and should be included under provision of my proposed Amendment Speaking of foreigners once you have heard disc jockey Tom Barbarian say “Chao" on the radio you begin to wonder whether or not it's the French version for “Howdy" So I looked it up According to Roget’a Thesaurus there are 10 variations of “Howdy” ! They are: hi ya! how’s things? how’s tricks? how goes it? how’s every little the world treating how's thing? and by Ken (how are you and why Bot?)
