Dear Ms. Gutierrez:
It was with considerable empathy that I read your letter of the
15th, noting the shortage of ingredients for crafting the many
spicy rice, bean, and tortilla dishes you desired. One can only
hope that the new import tarrifs and restrictions do not make
these items prohibitively expensive for you. Similarly, I am
troubled by the expense incurred by assembling the ingredients
for Dyresteg or even Fiskesalat med pepperrotsaus and Stekt
marinert makrell.
Then there is the climate, about which the less said the better.
Frankly I think there was more than a little alcohol involved in
the decision by UN Supreme Leader Geary to swap our two
countries. In his world televised announcement, I noted that,
though he claimed the exchange was chosen on a purely random
basis, there was a darkly gleeful twinkle in his eye. But what
are we to do? Join the hippie communes on the moon? I think not.
In closing let me tell you how pleased I am at the thought of
salsa, merengue and the flamenco guitar music echoing throughout
the fjords.
Yours in the service of world government,
Ole Nyborger
