AAA invitation
So I am at Dumbarton Oaks, which is just as cool as it sounds, for a roundtable on pre-Columbian numerical notations, which is also just as cool as it sounds (ahem). Other than the miserable rain and the disagreeable security system here, I'm having a great time.
But I'm not here today to talk about that. No, friends, I want to invite you to experience an incredible opportunity to become part of a new and exciting organization, to get in on the ground floor before we become corrupt and/or disband out of boredom. I'm talking about the AAA, or the Appropriate Association of Arthur. (We actually aren't 100% clear what the first A stands for, but Appropriate is the consensus, I think). For a small one-time donation of just $2.00 you can become a lifetime member, OR for just the cost of two memberships - just $4.00! - you can get a deluxe lifetime membership to this exclusive association dedicated to, and organized by, Arthur. All proceeds from your membership dues help defray the cost of expensive electronics that his parents cruelly refuse to purchase for him. Members, in addition to receiving a membership number chosen by Arthur himself, have the privilege of playing video games with him whenever the opportunity arises. Join now - this offer may not last much longer!
Sincerely,
