New Butt Measurement Methodology: Octaves

Help!

May 25, 1999

Dear Gentlemen,

I tuned into your program a little late last week and just caught the tail end of your discussion of butt measurements. Since I couldn't get through by phone, I'm writing to let you know that there is another mode of measurement which may be superior to any others.

Actually, my older brother should get the credit, for it was he, when we were youngsters, who demonically thrust me back against the piano keyboard and measured my buttocks (the proper term) in octaves, or portions thereof.

Little did he realize then that in his attempt to ridicule his little sister, he would become the creator of the be-all and end-all of butt measurement methodology.

This should be especially appreciated by music lovers everywhere.

Sincerely,

Marjorie Hazeltine
