That was one of the most entertaining things that I've read in a long, long while. There may have been even been tears of laughter from time to time (which were much preferable to the outcries of dismay I was hearing concurrently from my teenager who was in the midst of reading the book.)

Thanks so much for your suffering on behalf of the masses. I'm sure that your reserve of good karma is now off the charts as a result.

Also, I've friended your journal because I need more witty and insightful on my friends page. I hope that you don't mind.
