Lettuce to the Editor
From: Cedric Raguenaud (raguenau@esi.fdn.org)
To: LETTUCE
Subject: Lettuce
Hi there,
Would you like to see the worth English you've seen before ? Yes ?
Look forward.
I'm French. I read RAH when I find it. I've no access to ftp (only to
e-mail). So I (sometimes) find it on monthly French CD-ROMs. But when
I have the honor of reading it, I take a lot of pleasure.
RAH gave me the idea to make a French humoristic e-mag (Beark!) in
last september (last year). Now it's more like S&M or Sunlight.
I leave you. Bye. Once again: bravo.
Cedric RAGUENAUD

Cedric,
Your English is much better than that of many Americans. Of all the
multitude of things that have surprised me during the creation of
RAH, the biggest surprise has been the number of people from non-
English speaking countries that read English well enough to enjoy
RAH. It would seem that understanding humor in another language
would require a very good mastery of that language. Understanding
technical humor should be even more difficult, yet Holland has
consistently held second place in the number of active official RAH
distributors. Whether the lack of corresponding ability in Americans
is due more to our declining educational system or to American
attitudes is open for discussion.
I'm pleased that RAH has inspired others to start e-mags. Now that
RAH itself is winding down, it will be interesting to see what
projects (other than Dream Forge) spring up to fill the void.

Dear Lettuce,
My DEAR friend showed me Mr. Bealer's editorial about getting his
writing career started electronically. FAB! I want to do that TOO!
But how do I enclose my article? Will you send the original back? Do
you think the editor of TEEN reads your CHARMING magazine??? Please
write back SOON--I can't send a letter unless you write me and I
press "r".

Noa,
If you send your article electronically, you'll still have the
original, since you're only sending us a copy. Sorry, the CIA
intelligence information on print editors who read RAH is not yet
available. If you can only reply, how did you send this message in
the first place?

Hi RAH!!
Congrats 4 the Nov '94 issue, loved the Xellent 'Ten Very Forward'
story, the bill for the operation of my back (Injured while packing
out in laughter) is in the mail. Another thing, I think the
V.Everything modem at The Puffin's Nest kinda sucks, I mean look what
it did to the 'Vinnie' biography!!
...And since it's not working that well, can I have it?
TTYL............Raver

Raver,
No problem about the bill, just send it to hillary@whitehouse.gov.
She's still trying to figure out how to provide free unlimited health
care to everyone in the universe. As for the V.Everything modem, we
accidentally sent it to the Hayes accounting department for repairs.
Now the only code it returns to the comm program is "Chapter 11."

Dear Lettuce:
First the 15-page Animal Care and Use forms in triplicate, then a
veterinarian on-board for medical emergencies, and *now* sleigh
restbreaks every 45 minutes. Forget it! Dancer, Prancer, Donner,
Blixen, and crew won't be in harness this Christmas; if you want those
presents, you'll just have to pick them up.

P.S. If you belong to PETA, visit a mine for your lump of coal.

Santa,
I sympathize. The problem is that not even the PETA people are
patient enough to fill out all the OSHA forms necessary to visit a
coal mine, not to mention all the union wavers they'd need.
