Response 106 of 106: Lackadaisical (summit) * Thu, Feb 27, 1997 (11:29) * 8 lines
Miss Bingley:
I never understood why you Englishers make such a big deal about talkin' right and actin' so showoffy 'n stuff. Why bother? I mean, like, Caroline yer hair is always so perfickly curled, you walk so stiff and smile like a cat near a mousehole. Me, I jus' like to laze aroun', soak up some sun, wear any ole clothes, and let my place go to h--l BUT hey! I'm happy bein' lazy and so's my guy.
Try 'n tell me why YOUR way is better, ma'am...
Jus' shooin' flies away from my beer,

Dear Ms. Bingley,
It seems to me that certain gentlewomen in our acquaintance have been known of late to put their long, slender, pointy, aristocratic porboscis in the affairs of others in our confidence. I have been made privy to the continued prying and meddlesome nature of our mutual friend. We must seek a way to halt this bothersome behavior in anticipation of others in our acquaintance being in harms way of her arrogance and lofty manner. What, pray, may we do to prevent further interference?
Please make haste in your reply!
Yours, Ever So Sincerely,
Mrs. Ima Patriarch
P.S. My dear friend, can you even but imagine that this is happening among our own realm of society? I am all astonishment!
