Mah Deah Miss Mary Julep,

Ah deeply regret the confusion caused by  the above.  The above referenced
signal was for the duel 'twixt the Honourable Pirate and Mah Humble Self some
months ago.

On second thought, perhaps the duellists in this case should each drop
drawers at each other, which will undoubtedly result in a lemming-like (as
opposed to a lemon-lime) event among the Weehawkenites and adjacent North
Bergeners. Personally, I shall  avert my eyes as I pass The Field of Honor on
the bus.  Advise you do the same, from your fallen tree in Montclair.
