The people we might have been
Lettuce from our readersI don't know if Crack'd magazine is still around, but that's what their letters section was called. As with Entertainment Weekly, I suspect they wrote the letters themselves.
The following, however, is authentic. I received this e-mail this weekend:
"Are you the Marty Barrett that lived in Weymouth many years ago on the Navy base? Did you have a brother that whacked my brother in the ear with a golf club?"
Every now and then I am made aware of the way my life might have been had I made different choices, like: might I still enjoy Strawberry Schapps with gin if it hadn't made me throw up so utterly my freshman year of college?
Neither I nor any of my family has ever lived on a Navy base or, to my knowledge, played golf. Furthermore, our weapon of choice has always been the Turkish scimitar.

Are you the Marty Barrett that invented the reversible Rabbit foot extrapulator? If you are, I just want to congratulate you and to let you know you have changed my life forever. I don't know what I would've done without such an invention. Not only are my rabbits enjoying their macaroni and cheese, they are imitating Oprah during their daily grooming routine. I can't thank you enough. I hope all your future extrapulators are as successful as this one.
--Thankful from Chicago.
