I love it! A great feature of quirky and entertaining nuggets on McSweeney’s entitled ‘Open Letters to People or Entities who are Unlikely to Respond’. The main index page is here.

An Open Letter to My Across-the-Street Neighbor Who Always Does His Yard Work in His Scrubs
Dear Neighbor,
Yes, I know you’re a doctor—well, OK, almost a doctor. We all know you’re almost a doctor. And I promise, on behalf of all of us on the block, we won’t forget that you’re almost a doctor. So, if you want to just wear ordinary clothes like the rest of us while doing your weekend mowing, watering, weeding, etc., go right ahead. It’s fine. Really. We won’t forget.
Sincerely,
The guy in the yellow house

This cracks me up. I always have fun reading your blog — I actually included it today in a Thursday Thirteen Things post about 13 blogs I’ve been enjoying reading lately. (It’s over at Daily Mitzvah). Keep up the good work!
