Dear Mr. Freeman:

Re: Challenge Match

This is to acknowledge receipt of ycur challenge in
a Tug-of-—War Competition.

Your assumption that our "immediate reaction will be
to reject our Council's challenge as you will doubtlessly feel
completely out-clased" is very astute because that was indeed
our immediate reaction.

Successful exponents of Tug-of-War are invariably
troglodytic, massive hulks, lacking in grace and agility, devoid
of any spark of cultural awareness and completely unable to ,
function at any but the lowest cerebral level.

Since none of our members meet these requirements, we
are indeed out-classed. However, in the name of Sportsmanship,
we shall accept your chalienge.

We are at a further disadvantage, since your team,
being politically oriented, benefits from constant daily
practice at pulling strings.

Because it is axiomatic that in any brain-versus-
brawn conflict, brain must triumph, allow us to proffer our
condolences in advance for your ignominious defeat.
