Hey,
I heard on the radio where some *talented* speech writer prepared
perhaps the best script for one congressional candidate who is out to
discredit another. Part of the speech went something like:
"A jackass should kick you out of town for the low-down dirty things
you have done, and I'm just the one to do it!"
The candidate should have used a Technical Writer, right? Let's see,
to word it correctly we should identify . . .
