dialing for dollars

Recently on the net I've seen a few messages asking for money.  The 
senders supply such worthy reasons as education, feeding a starving 
sister, and so on.

Taking advantage of this trend, I would like to ask you all for money, 
too.

      Of course, I do not need it.  Apple Computer is a wonderful 
employer; I have a very good salary, two-digit profit sharing, and an 
excellent stock option.  I am happily married to a wonderful 
woman, Felicity, a Stanford graduate with a Masters in Horticulture.  
Less than a year ago, I founded a Hi-IQ club which now has over 130 
members around the world, including Marilyn vos Savant and 
Christopher Harding, individuals recognized by the popular press as 
having the highest IQ's in the world.  I write essays and fiction for 
various publications.  I am 6'1" with blond hair and blue eyes and 
good health.  My future prospects look great.

     But I want to have more fun.  And I'll even give you something for 
your money.  After everyone has sent me money, I will promise to 
have as much imaginative fun with it as I possibly can.  Furthermore, 
after I do, I will send everyone who has contributed to Grady's 
Fun(d) a letter describing exactly how I "spent" my time.

So, you can be the keystone of my summer blowout, or you can 
press "N" and go out for another desultory pizza tonight.  Just fold a 
twenty dollar bill in a sheet of paper with your return address and 
send to:

Grady's Fun(d)
380 N. Bayview Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA  94086

It's going to be *party* time!
