Karl Pilkington of the Ricky Gervais Show podcast requested a couple of anatomical modifications, for safety and convenience. (Listen to Series Three, Episode Five for the lowdown.)

Great letter, Dan!

Does this happen to anyone? E-mail me!

“He said what he meant.” Behold one dude’s propitious ascent to the major stations of his savored nation. Repentant and resplendent, he was always a gent.
