Brother Laurence

A fine man, me brother Laurence, wrote at me not long ago and said:

I always feel like I'm taking the fun out of the whole gift thing by requesting specfics.

Larry’s holiday list 2006

Knife - Böker® TrapperLiner™ Tortoise Celluloid

Jeans - boot cut

Watch Batteries

Bose® SoundDock® digital music system

Del Mar Lite 42" Rolling Garment Bag

Work shirts and ties

Undershirts

Now, that's a fine lot a nonsense about baying too specific ta be proper Christmas-like in wishing fer all these high-techno gadgets & tortoises, not one of which I have ever heard of at all except "Undershirts", which is the shirt the priest wears under his coat and collar, I believe.

All I can say is at least ye could try leaving off the ® and ™ and so on, fer Jaysus' sake: Do you think we'll steal yer great Christmas presents if ye doon't put ® on 'em, ye daft man?

Ho Ho Ho!™

love,

Santa®
