Dear
                                  a) Mom
                         b) Dad
                         c) love of my life
                         d) RP-list
                         e) Local Police Chief,
        
Words cannot begin to express how sorry I am that your

                         a) Car
                         b) House
                         c) Pet
                         d) Espresso maker
                         e) Left arm

was severely damaged by my

                         a) infantile
                         b) puerile
                         c) inept
                         d) comically brilliant but nonetheless sadistic
                         e) woefully under appreciated

 prank.

 How could I have known that the

                         a) car
                         b) jet ski
                         c) large helium balloon
                         d) rodent driven sledge
                         e) rp machine

 I was riding in would go so far out of control? And while it is
  true that I should not have pointed it in the direction of your

                         a) house
                         b) wife
                         c) Cub Scout troop
                         d) 1/16th sized replica of the Statue of Liberty,
                        complete with lightbulb in the torch
                         e) priceless collection of Rolling Rock beer cans,

 you must understand that it was all meant in fun. The
subsequent carnage that I caused is beyond my ability to

                         a) imagine
                         b) fathom
                         c) comprehend
                         d) appreciate
                         e) pay for,

and I must therefore humbly ask your forgiveness. I know that
you are perfectly within your rights to

                         a) hate me
                         b) sue me
                         c) spank me
                         d) take my firstborn
                         e) gouge out my eyes with spoons and feed them to
the fish in your koi pond,

 but I ask you to remember all the good times we've had,
joshing around at

                         a) school
                         b) work
                         c) church
                         d) the rp-ml list
                         e) the municipal jail,

 and to remember that I am first and foremost your

                         a) friend
                         b) child
                         c) sibling
                         d) lease co-signer
                         e) only possible match should you ever need a bone
                                marrow transplant.

I think that counts for more than one prank, especially one that

                         a) was so stupid
                         b) was so silly
                         c) would have been funny if it worked
                         d) you would have done, if you had thought of it
first
                         e) I'm going to use again on someone else.

Sincerely,
Me.
