Email too many details about stuff people don't give a shit about

Dear One & All,

This morning at around 11 AM, our orange adult female guppy had at least 25 babies! I couldn't believe it as we have been waiting so long for her to have babies that we were about to give up on her! We now have had 3 adult female guppies that have had babies. In our 5 Gallon tank, we have two orange adult male guppies and a breeder container inside the tank to hold the 18 baby guppies we had last week. And in our 10 Gallon tank, we have 3 adult females and a breeder container inside the tank to hold the 25 baby guppies that were born today. Cool, huh? We started out with just 2 adult males and 3 adult females given to us by a neighbor boy. Now we have 43 baby guppies to raise!

Love,
Vic

Me: Maybe a have a Boy Scout fund-raising guppy sale. [Vic's son is a Boy Scout]

Jim: Please let me advise you here. Immediately open 43 guppy college funding accounts, don't delay!

Me: They have schools but I don't think they have colleges.

Jim: Not enough detail. Could it be that they have colleges for orange guppies, but not for the other colors?

Me: Let's contact the GCLU (Guppies Civil Liberties Union) and get them on this injustice.

Jim: Don't tell Vic, she will be in the thick of it in short order!

Me:
Put 43 guppies in blender
Add 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 banana
4 strawberries
Mix on Hi for 4 minutes
Chill and enjoy
