In a missive worthy of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas the Curmudgeon High Council (CHC) is determined to prevent others from mistakenly assuming they are a bunch of enlightened, woke, individuals of high moral character. They made this point in yet another slightly-hard-to-decode missive to the author of the only piece of literature ever written about them. As always, we publish it here in full, without further comment:
Wife #1,
Obviously your talents include exceptional debating skills as well as poetic accomplishment. Such thoughtful work deserves a reply. Re your counterargument on athletic collegiality among Curmudgeons, I must remind you that husbands do not always tell their wife (wives) the actual facts surrounding events. Confounding misdirection, memory loss, denial and dismissal are often preferred modes of communication. The ability to perform these feats with a straight face increases with age. Indeed, this is an irrefutable law of nature, well established since the dawn of human occupation of the planet.
Just ask Tom. Oh, forgot, he won’t tell you “what is is.”
