HOUSTON, We have a problem!
I've been very encouraged by your cards and letters and posts. At first I was kidding but you guys got me into it for next year.
The problem is, technically that ten acre field belongs to me sister even though I've always considered that to be nothing more than a trivial deed-kind-of-thing. I told her I was going to design a golf course on it and she said---"No Way Jose!"
You see, my sister is basically an ultra naturalist and she wants birds to nest in that field so she's decided to only cut it once a year.
Do not lose heart though. I HAVE A PLAN and I'll need your help, OK? I want you to all come out here next spring and together we will commit total genocide on every damn bird in Willistown Township! We will burn down all their neighborhoods, all their upscale homes, all their apartments, all their shopping malls and restaurants, everything. I don't want an avian trace left in the vicinity! If we go about it correctly it shouldn't be much of a problem. I was in the US Marine Corps and I watched the Recon Marines at work. I'll make the plan and you help me carry it out. I want you all dressed in about the same basic uniform Bill Murray had on in Caddie Shack (by the way there are at least a dozen ground hog holes in that field). That's not asking too much, is it?
