So whatcha got there, Mike? Mike: A letter with an 18 cent stamp! That dates it to about 1981! Zonker: Give it a read, bro! Mike: "Dear Mike: Don't even thinking of marrying J.J.! It'd be the biggest mistake of your life1 Best, Bill K., Chicago." Zonker: So waht have learned, kids? To open our mail in a timely fashion! Mike: "P.S. recommend you invest in a company called microsoft."
