Dear Arthur,

Does not anyone rhyme names like Downtucket?  Cardinal rule when thinking of a new slogan or a child's name:  rhyme it for any possible innuendo or nasty nicknames.

Dear Max,

Rumor I heard was a Building 19 and 3/8ths was moving a satellite store just south of the Grants building.  Cool, as Downtucket needs a small Ann & Hopeless.  However, I would prefer a Starvation Army store.  The best time to get to the Starvation Army is early in the morning when the fur coats and accompanying men's suits come in around 8 a.m.  Oops, I heard the help gets first grabs.

Another rumor is a toothpick, playing cards, and matches artist from Hoboken, New Jersey, via way of Tahiti,  wants to put an art studio in Downtucket just north of the Grant.  Tentative name for the new studio will be "Pick, Play and Burn Studios."  The new artist has a funky name, Cherise Derriere Hernandez-Smith.   I wonder what kind of art this place will sell?  The business should go well as a complement store if the city opens up the Sex Education Center.

I wonder if the creators of the Downtucket nickname have accompanying street signs.  Any suggestions for a street sign symbol?  

Symbols might be unprintable but then we could check the upper areas for the UpTucket section...but maybe we have drunk too much of the water supply and the new varieties

Dear Arthur,

Okay, your answer gave me my Sunday morning laugh.
