What IS Inquiry?

[Guest guest]

Hi Akilesh,

 

in the name of Wizzulwozzuls around the world I must protest sharply against

your attempt to relegate us to the realm of nonsense. Have you no heart? No

human feelings? Don't you know that Wizzulwozzuls are peaceful and friendly

and try to love their fellow Wizzulwozzul to the best of their ability? The

Wizzulwozzul community cannot but feel hurt and insulted at these racist and

derogatory remarks directed against a minority, and I believe an apology is

due.

 

Wishing you a happy Groundhog Day I remain

 

very sincerely yours,

 

Michael

Dear Mike,

Back when you first spoke so reverently about weasels and groundhogs, I began

to suspect some secret esoteric knowledge of Wizzulwozzuls lurked in your

background. Thanks for speaking up for them, but let's not blame Akilesh for

what is after all a common misunderstanding. Their association with groundhogs

has led many to blame them for the prolongation of winter. Of course,

the real reason they poke their little heads out is to start looking

for a Mrs.

Wizzulwozzul and not even the worst winter weather ever stops that quest. That,

we can all understand.

Anyway, no doubt there is a great deal of nonsense in the legends and

superstitous lore about many creatures, why should Wizzulwozzuls be exempt?

Few can answer that ultimate question "Who is Wizzulwozzul?"

Still, who of us does not have some Wizzulwozzol in us, deep in our hearts?

Peace,

Gloria
