I was searching through my archives for an old short story (for an ebook of my 1980s-1990s shorts), finally broke down to fire up my old XP to read floppies, and came across this sent from an American friend of mine on or about 1 February 1995. I don't know who originally wrote it (him or someone else), but I hope it gives you as big a chuckle as it did me.
