The latest mail

Dear Editor,

Recently a newsletter from the Geological Organization of Federated Investigators of Earthquake Statistics arrived in the mail box.

Earthquakes are getting worse and more frequent. This could signify the end of the world.

Suddenly the windows of my apartment began violently shaking and the Bible fell off the shelf to the floor, opening to the Book of Reverberations (Chap. 3, Verse 14): "Pay your property damage insurance now before it is too late, and make sure the policy includes acts of God. And, wear a hard hat."

The "earthquake" turned out to be the usual moron down the street playing rap music at 2 billion decibels.

This taught me a good lesson:

Throw away all correspondence from the Geological Organization of Federated Investigators of Earthquake Statistics, acronym: GOOFIES.
