Carolyn,
I love my lover and her many desirable qualities like her long, flowing hair, her cute butt, her fondness of call-in radio programs, her use of first-person plural pronouns, and many other such things – and here is where I negate everything I just said: – but she is bringing me down with her negativity.
I have a lot to offer the world, you know. Given the right support system and a positive attitude, there is hardly any limit to the size and staying-power of the dent I can make in the Universe. I’m confident that if I just get the right mix of people around me then I will be able to have an influence that extends beyond even the cruelest mass extinctions and supernovae.
Point being that I can’t afford – nay, the world can’t afford – to have my potential vacuum-sucked dry by a spouse high on negativity quotient.
So, I need your help. You don’t need to respond to this email, you just need to agree to lock yourself in a room with my lover until she agrees to come out with a positive attitude.
Do it for the Universe.
-- Your one-way pen pal
