Dr. Bafoof:
There you go again!!! Who took your muzzle off this time, the Green Hornet?
You know, I cannot guarantee your safety if you keep coming out with
ideas such as these that malign 160 meters! Remember, some of us LIKE
rubber rooms, and we hand out on 160 95% of the time. Don't be messin'
around with our territory! I'll be the Hornet doesn't know you talk like
that!
Any more of these outbursts from you, and I'm going to seek the most heinous
punishment known to ham-radiodom...the dreaded FISH HEAD GAS CHAMBER!!!
Your good friend and Wedge (head) operator...
