It’s just too cliche (HIPPA), and silly (the duck “now I’m the manager” schtick), and who the fuck rents out “yachts” in a rinky dinky little office like that.

Better that Crumbly gets his fan mail in an adult jail than in a youth facility. Or maybe just skip the fan mail part, unless they’re flaming shit-bags. ---
