    Dear Pretzeldent,

    When you speak to the nation from behind the big desk, you don't actually have to wear pants. It's TRUE! They can't see you from the belly down at all.

    Dad did it, I did it, and you know Billy Boy Clinton did it (don't worry, we had the chair re-upholstered since then). The A/C don't work so well in the summer so this is good to know.

    Also, Marilyn Monroe was an alien. Nancy Reagan, too.

    Heh. Gotcha! It's just Marilyn.

    Good huntin' and don't work too hard,

    -W 43.
