Dear Crystal Geyser Water,
Mmm MMM! I am tasting your excellent spring juice now. Does it QUENCH!
Hey, I heard this one priest the other day at St. Tim’s say that getting married is like putting together two h’s and an o to make water? And he said that if you put the wrong number of h’s and o’s together, you might get an explosion. WHAT?! Is that true (cool!)?
Well, if that’s true, I think more marrieds should become Crystal Geysers. This is just my opinion and I buy your water all the time and often consume it to disgorgement!
So, I was looking at my water bottle just now and I saw that it says, “Do not refill.” I wondered why it says that. Could you tell me?
Thanks!

My message:
Hi, American Eagle Outfitters!
I’m interested in your pants!
Where are they made?
I like corduroy specifically (for comfort and sanitary reasons), but I’d like to know where all of your clothes are made. Are they made in America? If not, where? How well compensated are workers who make American Eagle Outfitter clothing?
Curiously,
Clifton

I sent the following to the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) of the Arizona Department of Transportation (AZDOT):
Hi. I have a few questions:
I looked through this to try to figure out why a speed limit sign might be yellow. I could not find the answer there. Can you tell me why a speed limit sign might be yellow?
Is there a name for a road that connects two freeways ( e.g., the 101 and 202)?
First Act Guitars: Are They Safe?
I sent the following message to the guitar manufacturer First Act:
Hi, First Act!
I recently bought a very reasonably-priced children’s guitar from Wal-Mart. I noticed that the guitar is made in China. This concerns me somewhat after reading about Mattel’s large toy recall. Do you know how safe the materials are that comprise these fun, educational children’s guitars?
