ROGER:
"DearAmerican Airlines,
"l'm not much in
the habit of writing
letters of complaint.
"l think l could
have lived, and did,
"with the distance
between your rows.
"But my issue is not
with the lack of leg room,
"it is instead
with the quality of the
buttons on the seats.
"When l depress
my recliner button,
"l expect the chair
to recline.
"At the very least,
to move.
"This was not the case
with Seat 26C on
Flight 41 from JFK..."

"Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
"l write as
a concerned citizen
that has finally had enough
"of the abominable
traffic noise that has
engulfed the city.
"lf you placed
a police officer
"at strategically
chosen corners of Manhattan,
the needed employment
of crime fighters,
"less crime and trafficking,
and a lower contingent
of horn-honkers.
"lf you're into green. . ."
And who isn't?
". . .it'll make for
a significant reduction
in noise pollution.
"lf they can do it in LA,
a car culture if
ever there was one,
"l'm confident we can do it
here in Manhattan."
lt's true.
Yeah. ln LA,
they understand the horn
is for emergencies only.
ln New York,
it's a constant.
Yeah.
l don't know.
l don't really recognize
New York anymore, you know?
"You might be
interested to know
"that in the relatively
recently acquired
state of Hawaii,
"there's a law on the books
that prohibits the honking
of horns entirely.
"Yours in hopes
of green sound,
Roger Greenberg."
When did you get in?
Only Monday.
