IS MY HANDWRITING TOO SLOPPY FOR YOUR EYEBALLS? HERE'S THE TEXT OF THE ABOVE CARD ... RICHARD M. DALEY, MAYOR / CITY OF CHICAGO / 121 N. LASALLE STREET / CHICAGO, IL 60602
MAYOR DALEY -- WHAT'S THIS BUSINESS I HEAR ABOUT PLANS TO CHANGE ALL THE STOPLIGHTS IN YOUR CITY? MORLEY TELLS ME THERE WILL BE NO MORE YELLOW LIGHTS, JUST STRICTLY RED AND GREEN. HE IS QUITE UPSET ABOUT THIS (YOU KNOW MORLEY!). ME, I AM MUCH MORE LEVEL-HEADED, WHICH MIGHT EXPLAIN WHY MY CONSULTING PROWESS IS MUCH IN DEMAND, BUT STILL I URGE YOU TO CONSIDER THE RAMIFICATIONS OF NO YELLOW LIGHTS. YOUR POINT THAT THEY ARE "UNDECISIVE" (YOUR WORDS, NOT MINE) IS WELL TAKEN, BUT MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT TRANSITIONAL PART OF THE STOPPING PROCESS. BUT SINCE YOU ARE "HELL-BENT" (MORLEY'S WORDS, NOT MINE) ON MAKING A CHANGE, I HAVE COME UP WITH THE PERFECT SOLUTION! I HAVE DESIGNED A NEW STOPLIGHT SYSTEM THAT UTILIZES THE COLORS OF AQUA, TURQUOISE, AND CYAN. IT'S QUITE BREATHTAKING. MORLEY SAYS HE CAN LIVE WITH THIS. HOW ABOUT YOU? P.S. YOU ARE MY SECOND FAVORITE MAYOR!
