     To: rlaramee "at" yahoo.com
    
     i have the info you need regarding your need for a clear fluid to preserve your 
     bottlecaps. believe it or not, JPL (jet propulsion labratories) claims that a 
     VERY, VERY fine mist of fresh male ejaculate contains the proper "sealant"  
     (dimethyloxinozolinote nitrate) (Di3 N6 o2 Zc8 Fe1) you need to preserve your 
     "Worlds Oldest Salad Dressing" bottles. 
     
          directions are as follows: clean said bottlecaps with a moist 
    		  towelette. slowly "milk" penis. let contents flow (unsure how to 
    			do a mist) over bottlecap. setting time varies( 3 hrs if you are black) 
          hope this helps.

    response: Dear Person,

    Congradulations on being able to integrate your perversion into The World's Oldest Salad Dressing. Are you kind of sick or something? I would rather have the bottle caps rust away than try what you are talking about.

     hey Bob, how are you?  hope all is well.
     
     just checking out the salad dressing page.  the correspondence 
     is great.  it continues to amaze me how dense people can be, evidenced 
     by the requests for information on purchasing the particular brand of 
     dressing.  do they even look at the site before wasting time typing a 
     message?
    
     I have a page on my site with photos for the New year's swim some friends 
     and I did a few years ago here in South Boston.  the polar bear club (L 
     Street Brownies) that organizes the swim does not really have a web page.   
     my page comes up first in a google search.  though it fairly obviously 
     points out that I just swam and am in no other way affiliated with the 
     group, people inquire with me about them.  I received several emails, 
     including one from a newspaper reporter from the Patriot Ledger.  ordinary 
     schmoes are one thing.  when a reporter, who would presumably have a 
     heightened ability to comprehend what they are reading since they explain 
     news to people, is mistaking my site for something officiial or even 
     beneficial to their story, it's sad.  I keep most of the correspondence I 
     get for my site on a testimonials page, but did not put these on there.  
     damn.
     
     How is Nina?  any traveling in the works?  still hoping to see you here in 
     October for the wedding.

    response: Hi Dan,

    i am impressed that you got some inquiries from the Patriot Ledger. i would love to have a newspaper call me and ask for more information. Do me a favor, if you get another call from them, can you send them my way?

    Nina's good. We plan on attendint your wedding.

    -cheers, bob

     Bob, this guy Matt I work with found your salad page linked on another
     site.  On the left side of this page,
     http://www.blacktable.com/index.htm, under links, it is there if you
     click on the part reading:
    
     The Depression 
     really messed up old people, didn't it? It's the reason why Grandpa
     has six dozen rolls of toilet paper and enough canned food to equip a
     neighborhood bomb shelter. It's why Grandma always comes home from
     Burger King with a five-inch wad of paper napkins, a half-finished
     Diet Coke and 46 ketchup packets. And the Depression, we're betting,
     is the reason why someone kept a bottle of Seven Seas Creamy Russian
     dressing in their refrigerator for the last three decades. You know,
     just in case someone came over and felt the urge to toss spoiled,
     toxing dressing over their greens.

    Thanks for pointing that out. That Black Table web site has some really funny stuff on it.
