Give it up Willy Weeper. "They" (a single guy)


And a whole bunch of hanger's on...

who said that is long since dead,


The actuarial tables offer no apology.

but you keep writing jeremiads on a topic that no living soul remains to
support.


If Dick were alive, a dozen amateurs of low intelligence would jump in

Continue??? You were asked if you wanted him back, and I would gladly
return him to his rightful owner. You didn't reply.

Are you asking now? If so, do it plainly so that I do not mistake if
for just more Extra-class "stuff."

Some weeks later, in another part of town, little Billy Beeper walks home=

"Aw, c'mon!" says the old man. "I only wanna be friends with you!"

"Well, I don't know," replies Billy. "I was told that FM was bad for you!"

"That's just what the grown-ups say to scare you!" says the drooling man.

"Golly!" exclaims Billy. "It's Captain Code!"

Yes, Readers, it's Captain Code: faster than a Vibroplex Blue Racer, more
