‘Sick and Tired’ Letter Writers
I am sick and tired of Steve Allen writing to The Times. Suspecting that my attitude indicated a national trend, I polled passers-by at a local by-pass.
This was both easier said than done. One of the applicants was vulgar and swore, several were evasive and insincere, one spoke with broken English, and others seemed just a little too eager to please. Pressing on, we soon rested on our laurels, with many a merry smile, you may be sure.
Results were as follows:
Sick 14
Tired 11
Awaiting “inside information”9
Up to the individual 7
Education is the answer 15
Out-of-State 12
Registered voter/driver 8
You never know till you try 7
Never heard of Steve Allen 5
Never heard of The Times 3
This ought to give you some idea of which way the wind is blowing.
