No lut tlhaQ, Eh?
Dear [email protected],
Oh, I get it, you think Klingons don't do humor. Let me hope you are not
involved in restoring any lut tlhaQ, such as The Confusion Is Great
Because of Nothing. Methinks that were you in that play you would be
confused.
As the third or fourth email I just got from Steven Boozer is signed
Voragh Ca Non The Master of the Klingons, let me ask you what that means,
if it does not mean the Master of the Klingons.
I wish you well enough,
Christopher
