The following letter was forwarded by someone who teaches at a Junior high school in Memphis, Tennessee; the letter was sent to the principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for the elderly.

Dear Reyer School:

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior citizen's luncheon. I am 84 years old and live at the county home for the aged.

All my people are gone. It's nice to know that someone thinks of me. 

God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady. My roommate is 95 and always had her own radio, but would never let me listen to it. The other day her radio fell and broke into a lot of pieces. It was awful.

She asked if she could listen to mine, and I said fuck you.

Sincerely,

Edna Johnston

In future, the doors to all toilets will be equipped with computer-linked voice recognition devices, which can only be activated to open at the sound of a person's voice.

Staff must therefore immediately provide management with two voice prints, one in a normal tone and one under stress/desperation.
