He said: “When you get yourself into a situation you can’t get out of, open the first letter, and you’ll be safe. When you get yourself into another situation you can’t get out of, open the second letter.” Well, soon enough, this guy found himself in a tight place, so he opened the first letter. Which said: “Blame everything on me.” So he blames the old man, it worked like a charm. When he got himself into a second situation he couldn’t get out of, he opened the second letter. It said: “Sit down, and write two letters.” ---

Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did _was_ wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. Correct? That’s the way we saw each other at 7:00 this morning. We were brainwashed. ---
