 However, I am ever so pleased to learn that the Dogpatch Wasps are
evidently

and
  drink iced tea and lemonade in the summer and thus reduce consumer
pressure

 Y'all come back now, heah? Ralph

  >>Dear Suh; as today down hair is e-lection day ;
I will refrain from responding to yo insults in a  mann-or that may have
caused the last unpleasantness between our two gumm-ments....  however
I believe there is a ground of land on the "joisey "clifts of Weehawken off
the Hudson river where gentlemen who have been wronged can address thar
grievences in a dig-nified man-or befiting their stations in life.
 With that in mind suh ; I challange you to either  horse apples at dawn
( with Mary Krugman dropping the hankerchief)......or ...
a high clorestorel mob owned  restaurant attended by hapless pinhead seconds
of your own choosing;
either way suh ; when I make my ma jong tour of the north early this sept
 honor may be restored to my mantel of ree-spect-ability
and give satisfaction to mah porch  which hasn't suffered such indignity
since cuzin Homer missed peeing off it
 I shall be in your raffish area with my riding gloves ready to extend my
invitation whilst confering with southern spies Follet and other pinheads
who you thought were on your side suh;    Ree-spectfully Col. Dog Patch and
the Mississippi ripped sheet volunteers.
