Battling Evil: A Guest Editorial
It's time someone spoke out against a scourge that has plagued mankind for generations. Disguised as innocent recreation, or a social pastime, it is, in fact, a powerful brainwashing tool. A manipulative, mind-bending method of twisting our young people's thoughts, and organizing these youth into masses of mindless followers, a little too eager to be accepted.
By now, I'm sure you have deduced the object of my scorn:
Ballroom Dancing!
Admittedly, at first glance, Bingo and talk show hosts appear to be the greatest threats to society. However, upon closer examination, the more subtle forms of coercion, such as Arthur Murray breeds, will truly sound the final death knell for civilization, as we know it.
A Waltz record recently confiscated from one of these studios, and played backwards, was even found to reveal a recipe for Devil's Food Cake. How much more proof does a rational person need?!
If we are to spare future generations from this deception and control we have but one hope:
The Hokey Pokey.
Similar in appearance to ballroom dancing, without the caustic mental after-effects, it can provide the means by which we put our children back on the road to freedom. Don't delay. Enroll your son or daughter in classes today.

We will read it in our staff meetings, and laugh at you for having such a ridiculous opinion (sometimes Herschel even makes faces). We will then use your letter as raw material for our Origami classes.
If you have an opposing view and would actually like to see it in print; start your own blog! Rumor has it, it's a free country!









My email to Herschel just bounced back.

You might want to consider this, if you're having trouble with email. And give my regards to Rod and Ferdinand.

Many years ago I found a much simpler and more pleasant pastime than ballroom dancing and highly recommend it as an alternative: barefoot Cholla kicking.

Okay, I'll admit I had to look up Cholla. And although barefoot Cholla kicking sounds more painful than ballroom dancing, in my case it's probably less embarrassing.

Where did you hear the rumor Pin? Last I heard it wasn't so free. Have you priced postage stamps lately?
Reply to this
Yes, I have priced stamps, Ms. Zola. In fact, I just filled out a loan application at the Post Office on Friday.
