Given the last category I’m surprised there wasn’t a fourth category of letters from people who were only familiar with Harry Potter fan fiction.

I feel like I’d end up just naming myself James Fox. In a world where everybody has some kind of ridiculous tertiary name having a normal name that is the same as your given one strikes me as novel.

Dear Harry,

My name is Snake Falcon-Hawk. You are probably going to get most of your future correspondence from children via e mail, because I am the worlds greatest imaginary owl abductor/killer. I would like to send you a stuffed owl when my taxidermy skills improve.

Absurdly yours,

Snake Falcon-Hawk

I am always amazed by what constitutes a serving. Like a serving of saltines is like four crackers. WHO EATS FOUR SALTINES?? GIBBERISH GIBBERISH GIBBERISH

I can relate to the noodle story.

I was crushed to find out that a single twelve ounce beer was considered one serving, and, as such, a twelve pack of beer was intended to satiate the thirst of an entire baseball team, including two relief pitchers and a closer.

It was then that I discovered “oil cans” of Foster’s Lager. I could now relax and have “a few” beers without most of the guilt trip.

The final resolution to the guilt of beer serving sizes and quantity of beers consumed was provided by the installation of a keg o rater.

You see, kegs do not come with pesky warning labels listing calories and serving size, and since I can honestly say that I am having “a glass” of beer (even though it may be a bottomless glass), others cannot chastise me for over consumption, since I am having only the one glass!

Some folks see the glass as half empty and others as half full.

I just see the opportunity for a refill!

Cheers,

Uncle Bill

PS – You are responsible for the noodle side dish the next time we get together for Thanksgiving!

Omg, that second story is too funny. It completely made my day! Why can’t libraries just magically have the book I’m secretly imagining in my head?! I can’t be expected to write anything!
