yr hero for breast cancer

Having lied about my overall health to the organizers of this year's five-kilometer "race" [that is, in my case, walk] on March 17th to raise money for breast cancer research, and figuring I might not survive this one, I thought I'd drop a note to all my layabout friends to encourage them to make a contribution out of respect for my heroic sacrifice. I'm attaching the standard blurb below. Maybe you could forward this part of it to some of your friends, see if they want to send a contribution. Our English department "team" got the most cash contributions last year (I wasn't part of it then), so I'm hoping the Goddess helps us cash in. (Of course, if you want me to take it down, just let me know.)But first, a confidential note to the men on my list (meet me at camera three): fellows, let's be realistic. Given all our shoddy performances and bad behavior through the years, we've put ourselves in a very sticky position. The way I see it, to get women on our side for our probable bout with testicular cancer and our inevitable date with our prostate, we'll have to humor them by giving money for breast cancer now. So think of this as an investment in your own sorry old age--and don't skip, or they'll never let me live it down.

Cheers,
Jerry
