Dear Numba,                                                                                                             

         I forgot how good you smell, Baby! If it weren’t for Troy hitting my ear and demanding his chance to kiss you too, I think I would have devoured you on the spot! You looked so sad at the airport when we had to leave again, it almost broke my heart. I really believe in what you’re doing and I respect the fact that your getting you dad’s work the attention it deserves but....Baby this is killing me!  We need more than a few hours at a lay over! When you get to South Carolina, see if you can get a week off, okay?  I know, I know, these are old guys! If one of them croaks while we’re doing at a waterfront Motel then that’s the way it was meant to be, baby!  He’d probably just wish he was in my shoes!  What a way to go!

Dear Simba,                                                                                                            

            When were you planning to tell me your hot-and-heavy ex-girl friend was in town?

Dear Numba,                                                                                                            

            About twenty minutes before I read your email would have been nice. Who snitched? And stop making such a big thing of it! She had her chance and she blew it!
