HUMOR
Dear Upstairs Neighbor
Letters I wish I could send.
Dear Neighbor,
Hearing you rushing back and forth above me, I am impressed by your energy. And a bit jealous. If you are looking for some other ways to burn off calories, I invite you to come down to my place and do my vacuuming for me.
— Sincerely, neighbor tired of wearing ear plugs
Dear Neighbor,
Your dog seems as energetic as you are. As charming as the pitter-patter of four little feet chasing a ball is, it wears thin at 11pm. Did you know that the complex has a dog park in the back that is open 24 hours a day?
— Sincerely, former dog lover
Dear Neighbor,
I am sorry to learn that my table saw is disturbing you. I took up woodworking to drown out the sound of you and your dog. I can recommend the Howard Leight brand of ear plugs. They are available in bulk on Amazon.
— Sincerely, karma
