Queen Elizabeth: Direct-Marketing Goddess

Dear Friend,

I bet you though Austin Powers was the only cool cat in the U.K.

No baby, you're wrong -- here's another swingin' gal you need to know about.

Here's the deal:  My wife, who's English ("YES!", she DOES have that incredibly sexy accent, NO she didn't just marry me for a green card -- I'm W-A-A-Y too much work for that.) was telling me her aunt and uncle just got a personal letter congratulating them for their 60th wedding anniversary (WOW, that's a long time), from none other than...

The Queen Herself!

How cool is that?

The thing is, I don't think this would work over here.

First of all, the President's a pretty busy dude.  He has way too many meetings to go to, but there again, this would definitely give him something to do on all those long flights, right?

But there's still another problem.  See, if the President just gave out anniversary cards, or even worse, only 60th Wedding Anniversary cards, you just KNOW a team of lawyers would swarm down on Washington D.C., marshalling such legal powers, the likes of which have never been seen before -- to issue ALL sorts of class-action discrimination lawsuits against the government.

For instance, how come Aunt Tilly didn't get a letter from old George W. when she retired from Sears?  Do you know how bad that made her feel?  How much you wounded her pride?  She's suing for loss of consortium, and damaged dentures too.

And how about Ray Ray and Skillet, down at the lumber yard.  Those guys just finished building their 917th over-sized coffin (for them obese folks).  That's a record in these parts of town -- how come THEY didn't get a letter from the President? 

They're devastated as well.  They're suing for broken hearts, lack of career advancement (why should they work hard if they can't even get recognized), and yes, loss of consortium.  But most important, they want you to know it's not loss of consortium from each other.

So you see, it just doesn't make any sense for the government to do something nice for people in this country -- too many ramifications.

Hey, I gotta run -- if I don't put down this pen and stop writing, and start paying more attention to my beautiful English wife, I'm going to have to sue myself for loss of consortium.  And Lord knows that's going to be a HUGE problem.

Have a great weekend -- now go sell something,
