Today I wrote a letter to the Editor of Scragsville’s most prominent rag.
Here it is.
I am shocked by the dismal prose of part-time creative writing teacher Nancy Lauzon in the article: “Canada’s female humour short.”
Ms Lauzon states that she drones away as she is lecturing. “With half a Prozac and a double scotch…”
Clearly this is Ms Lauzon’s attempt at humour.
But why at the expense of people who are suffering from clinical depression?
Would she say, “Hey, I need a shot of Tamoxiphen. These students give me breast cancer.”
My letter will not be published.
Why?
For once I’m at a loss for words.
