Rant, rant, rant

(I won't print the beginning of this message, out of respect to the family of the South Strabane Township policeman whose death this message refers. The writer also took exception to our dropping the comic, "Ollie & Quentin," a strip about a seagull and a lugworm that never took off with readers. Here's how it the message ended...)

C: ...Shutting down a town for 1 person's funeral while ignoring other funerals are wrong.
WILL NOT BE RENEWING MY SUBSCRIPTION TO SUCH A STUPID PAPER!!!!!!! (No signature)

A: Dear Mr. Lugworm,
Honestly, the newspaper had nothing to do with planning the funeral. We just reported the accident, and the 1,000 cops showed up on their own. - G.O.E.

This guy is THE reason God invented flaming bags of dog poop and doorbells.

I doubt an idiot like that could actually read the paper.

So....this person had to sit in traffic for a few minutes while a young public servant is given a solemn funeral processsion? Awww, gee, what a shame. I wonder how he/she would feel if it was a member of their family?

I picture Mr. Lugworm's funeral procession as him in the back of old pickup truck driven by a person who is only doing it for the minimum wage they earn to dump old dead dear carcasses off of the highway to the Arden Landfill.

It would be more than the heartless bastard deserves.
