Letter to the editor of the "Two Trees Times"

Capt Carrales,
Editor, Two Trees Times,
Premont, TX

Dear Sir:

It is a matter of great concern with the management of the Dixie D Short Lines of Virginia Beach, VA that many issues of the “Two Trees Times” have not been delivered as promised. We have authorized spending a considerable amount of our limited funding to purchasing a lifetime subscription to your publication not without much protest from our Finance and Accounting department headed up by Mrs Penny Pincher. The failure of your publication to arrive as promised is causing great concern to our Fraud, Waste and Abuse department director, Mr. Cha Ching.

The agreement at the time was that your publication was to be a weekly, with supplemental inserts as news events warranted. We submit to you that the frequency of your publication has not met the terms of the contract. This is an unusual business practice and one we have been previously unaware of until this time.

As the Dixie D SL is interested in all manner of trade news and other publications concerning the world of reduced proportion railroading, we are not yet canceling our subscription to the “Two Trees Times”, but ask that back issues be immediately sent via subatomic electron mail.

We understand that these oversights happen, and hope to avoid any unpleasant visits to your business office by our enforcement agency (Antonio, Luigi and Vinny). As you know our mutual friend, Frosty D. Snowman, also failed to honor a contract with the Dixie D SL and it became necessary for the enforcement division to teach Frosty a lesson in business etiquette. The police said it was "suicide by thermostat" and that sounds good to us because that's our story and we're sticking to it.

Sincerely,

Tangerine-Jack
General Manager and Megalomaniac
Dixie D Short Line Rail Road

TJ's getting right creative in his old age! No mention of pyrotechnics, artillery, explosives, or such things he delights in utilizing! Is this married life taming him down?

Oh boy I see where this is going!

You remember Frosty?


He didn’t live up to his contract and was so distraught at defrauding the Dixie D that he committed suicide. He just didn't think about his wife and kid when the representatives of the Enforcement Agency came by for a visit. Smart people will take a lesson from his example.

A letter from R.E. Porter..


Greetings,

I have been informed that there has been some question as to the recent suspension of print of the Two Trees Times. We have been inthe process of retooling...Between the filming of my Show...Center Arrow, the R.E. Porter Show and recent developments with the printing office. The Two Trees Times will now become a monthly publication which will double its length and pictorials.

Expect the first issue in mid January.

Thanks,
R.E. Porter
