A LETTER FROM A COLLEGE STUDENT
The parents of a Northwestern student who just headed
back from holiday received this letter:

I am in a little need for $ome $pending money for book$ and
$uch. But don't want to $end the wrong $ignal$ home.

After deliberating a while, this was the draft of
their appropriate response:
Dear Son:

since you left for NOrthwestern. NObody doing NOthing Noble.
Enjoyed having you home for Thanksgiving in NOvember
and Christmas. NOthing is the same since you left.
Loved your NOte; write aNOther one when you have time.We think EcoNOmics and TrigNOmetry are suifficient to keep a graduate student busy.
