TO: The Albatross Yacht Club Inc.

FROM: Dakota A. Labrador

SUBJECT: Application for membership

Dear Sir,

In reading over your application for membership I find that owning a Yacht is not a requirement. I totally agree that one should not be burdened with the upkeep of a house with a sail on it. However, there is mention of membership fees, meaning money, of which I have little. There is also mention of having an interest in sailing. I have no interest whatsoever in this subject. You might ask why I would be interested in joining a yacht club if this was not so? Simple. My interests lie elsewhere.

Sniffing around your property (the gate was open) I discovered that you have one of the largest barbecue pits in the area. My interest’s lie here and in the small grassy area that surrounds it. I believe this should be reason enough to join.

Every yacht club needs a member that will devote his time and energy to the subject of barbecues. If accepted I promise to do just that. I must point out to you however, that you have a terrible plumbing problem. Your backyard is underwater. Photos are attached. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Dakota A. Labrador
Applicant
