The Letter to Mr. Red Mile
This letter was recently retrieved from a trash can near the general office.
To: Mr. Red Mile
From: Mr. A.J. Young
Dear Mr. Mile,
I know this may sound a little outrageous to you and many of your followers, but I have to
ask you a few questions.
I wanted to know if you have any new ideas for promoting harness racing in Lexington
Kentucky. Now I'm not talking about the whole state---just Lexington?
I have a few CRAZY IDEAS of my own... I'll take a shot in the dark here ....how about a
TV ad, prize giveaways or maybe 50 cent beer night.
Heck you can even make it a $2.50 cent beer night, if you want to.
Of course, that's just for college students and they would definitely need to show a college
ID (wouldn't want anyone to pull a fast one on ya.).
I know this stuff may sound wild or it may be a little too modern for you. But hey, it really is
working for Mountain Dew.
Hey...............now, I know your name ends with a vowel. And I know that means you could
have me taken out with a single phone call. I don't mean any disrespect at all. But if you
have anything--anything or if you need to see me, please....please....MY BARN DOOR IS
ALWAYS OPEN!
P.S. Please don't shoot me!!
