Mister Kaufman:

Thank you for your interest in Les Pages aux Folles.

Are you familiar with George Carlin’s comic routine “The Seven Words You Cannot Say on Television?” If you are not, you certainly should be able to imagine, even in these jaded times, what some of them are. I regret to inform you that, at last count, Les Pages aux Folles used five of the seven words. Not, to be sure, in every article, but sufficiently that a youngster with enough time and motivation would be certain to find them all.

We find, therefore, that we must decline your undoubtedly generous offer, since, as should now be apparent to you, Les Pages aux Folles is definitely NOT a family oriented Web site. (Pardon my crudity, but it contains an entire article devoted to…vaginas, for goodness’ sake!) If, on the other hand, your search engine’s mandate some day expands to include adult-oriented material, please feel free to contact me with details of the changes.

Sincerely,

Mister…Misses…uhh, Mi:

Thank you for your interest in Les Pages aux Folles.

As it happens, our graphics are created in a labour camp in China, where payment usually comes in the form of not getting hit so often with a lash. For many years our graphics were produced in Uttar Pradesh, but we actually had to pay those artists three cents a day for their work, and, well, when China offered us a better rate, of course we had to jump at the opportunity, the economy being what it is.

You may think that the quality of the work would suffer given the conditions under which it is produced, but the great news there is that most of the inmates of the Chinese camp are actually intellectuals who were not able to anticipate the country’s changing political climate. Clever, talented people who just don’t fit into society – closely supervised, who could imagine a better workforce?

In fact, you might want to get in touch with Qing Bao-Ping, the man who runs the labour camp. In addition to being an astute businessman, Qing has a wicked sense of humour. Why, just the other day, three of his workers were begging for water in the stifling heat of the workshop when…well, perhaps I should let him tell this story. Some things tend to get lost in the translation.

Sincerely,

“We do funny (visual) stuff”

PS: A week after I received your delightful offer (with its creative use of the English language), I received an email from somebody named Janeen Bright – would you believe that it was word for word, typo for typo exactly the same as your missive? The only conclusion I can come to is that somebody is stealing your business! Naturally, I assumed you would want to know. If you would like to contact Ms. Bright (if that is her real name), her email address is: [tuttsuyb@ecomail.org]. Best of luck.

If it sounds like you want to meet me, come setup a fun date with me.

My whole profile and contact info www.bjprofile.com\date.html

girls in your town just like me are waiting to meet you too…

Dear Ms. Pomegranate,

Oh, my.

The publisher of Les Pages aux Folles forwarded your email to me in order that I may – oh, my.

I hope you’ll forgive me for not referring to you as Lucy, but I hardly think that I can be so familiar with somebody whose existence I’ve only just become aware of. You and the other girls in my town just like you seem like really nice people, people I wouldn’t mind getting together with and playing pinochle or, if we got really crazy, contract bridge.

Unfortunately, I’m not at liberty to arrange any sort of meeting with any of you. I hope you’ll understand – I met my first wife that way. I’ll be paying alimony from heaven.

Since I have your attention, might I suggest you consider purchasing one of Les Pages aux Folles‘ fine adult line of products? I am told that What the Heck Do You Know? The Tits and Ass Version is a delightful board game that gives hours of relatively innocent pleasure. We have a line of condoms that come in 12 designer colours, each adorned with a different saying that first appeared on the front page of our Web site. And, no collection of sex aids can be considered complete without the Rex Veneer line of scented lubricants for men who find themselves in – dare I say it? – tight situations.

I’ll put you on our catalogue mailing list, then, shall I?

PS: are you spastic? I find the first line of your email message completely indecipherable. Of course, you may not even be aware of the problem. The line of type is actually invisible in my mail reader – I only noticed it when I saved the mail to a plain text file. Perhaps you should consider submitting yourself to a CAT scan or some other tool of brain trauma diagnosis.
