Since he writes primarily on linguistics, I assume these are actual letters, not humor, but who knows.

These are your typically sullen, sleepy fast food clerks looking for a better life.

Some hilarity in here, gents. I especially like this gem:

6. This is my eighth child. What are you going to do about it.

[muggs]

14. I have no children yet, as my husband is a truck driver and works night and day.

Hey, at least she's married and not sleeping with someone else.

The level of illiteracy displayed in these letters is not funny. It shows how the Reagan cuts in education in the greedy 80's hurt the poorest of the poor.

Of course, minorities, women and children were hardest hit. The NY Times told me so.

(Before anyone hits the "flame" key, I'm intending this as < sarcasm > , folks.)

Just thought I'd display Hillary's response in advance.

I worked as a Claims Rep for the Social Security Administration for eleven years. I interviewed claimants to verify eligibility for the SSI program, and, if they were eligible, paid them.

You would not believe the letters I got.

I am reminded of Jesse "The Mind" Ventura's meeting with some single mothers early in his tenure as Governor of Minnesota. He said something very much like, "So you married a bum. Personally I'm sorry for you. But I don't see why that's a problem for the taxpayers."

Shalom.

8. I am very much annoyed to find out that you have branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie as I was married a week before he was born.

ROTFLMAO!

Hate to piss on your fire, but these have been around FOREVER. Maybe some of them are real, maybe not. They are funny, but they are real old.
