greetings dear Guster and how are you

thank you for

asking to be quite honest with you after

delivering papers these past few days I

have been just a tad pouty which

troubles me a bit because well it's such

a fulfilling job I mean when you think

about it the pungent sting of the early

morning air as I sliced through it on my

appointed routes the cold stairs of dogs

and other animals that think they're

better than

me

oh what did I tell you about screaming

like a girl just there seems to be a

slight impurity in the

milk there doesn't seem to be any open

sores I'm sure it's

fine oh you big baby you can hardly

taste

it I'm sorry but I just do not

understand the ways of Your World well I

got friends in the circus who eat rats

and they'll probably live longer than

either of us besides no food is

completely free of a certain amount of

impurities here

look oh jeez gosh I never noticed that

before you know guess they should have

people whose job it is to inspect food

and you know what those people should be

called food

uh

inspectors Chris there are food

inspectors but they can't catch every

last insect part or bloated rodent well

then it's about time that they hired

somebody with a a burning desire to put

their face up close to food and say hey

what's in

there and that's

somebody might just be

education and special training with the

FDA or I could make a couple of phone

Me by standing on your front lawn with a

small dog strapped to your face while

confidence I know now that I must

testify for that subcommittee or else

I'll never be able to look cheese in the

puss

[Applause]

ungrateful two-faced double crossing

Judas

Gus if I don't testify I could go to

jail and if I don't not testify then Rob

might want his $5 back and if I don't

not not don't testify then I might get

so confused that my head will pop off

and fly around the room making rude

noises until all the air was out of it

kid that's a fear we all have to live

with my advice would be to k*ll yourself

I can help you with that gu that's

always your advice I'm not looking for a

short-term solution here I have to

testify

it's my duty as an American citizen and

as a representative of albinos

everywhere you've got no idea who you're

dealing with food inspectors are the

most evil violent vengeful people on

earth oh my God he thinks we're on

Earth you'd be putting me in an awkward

position after all I got you the job

yeah but guess everybody knows if you do

somebody a favor you could wind up

getting k*lled for

about I guess I'll be okay as long as I

do everything in my power to help them
