Subject: For Stacy<br />
Dear Stacy,<br />
I'd just like to thank you for being so understanding about my current situation. You see,<br />
my brother, your husband, has a tendency to take a very cynical view of everything.<br />
Don't ask me how he got this way, since Jason has always been the lucky one: he's the<br />
one who got the head for business, while all I got was, if you'll excuse the clich., the body<br />
for sin. He was also lucky enough to get you, Stacy. I guess it's easy for a guy who's got such a<br />
gem for a wife to sit back and criticize the rest of us poor slobs, who can't even find a<br />
geode out there, let alone a jewel. I guess Jason doesn't remember how hard it was for him<br />
to meet a girl who was actually attracted to him, and not the Trent family fortune.<br />
Apparently, Jason doesn't remember Michelle. Be sure to ask him about Michelle, Stacy.<br />
Or Fiona, for that matter. Or Monica, Karen, Louise, Cathy, or Alyson.<br />
Go on, ask him. I'd be curious to see what he has to say about any of them.<br />
What Jason doesn't seem to realize is that he has already found the best girl in the world.<br />
He forgets that some of us losers are still out there looking.<br />
So tell your husband to cut me a little slack, will you, Stacy?<br />
And thanks for the invitation, but if it's all right with you, I'll skip dinner this Sunday.<br />
Love,
