I have a very old copy of the very book. it is very entertaining, but you have to give her props. there are several points in the book where she states "this will not make sense in 10 years becuase no one will have servents, or visit 'the point' for a weekend"

I envision this line shouted into a hole by Buffalo Bill:

IT BRINGS BACK RAY'S PLACE! IT BRINGS BACK RAY'S PLACE OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!

Ray doesn't know if he's being insulted, so he covers all his bases. Classy.

I really liked the way Ray signed off in this one, but the gag really would have worked better as part of Ray's Place, unless this letter was made up to set up the joke and Chris wanted to use only real letters for the column.

Should be rated higher because of "Where to put your fork if the king is over for dinner"... like the King just drops by now and again.

Ray wouldn't drink while doing his job.

Have you forgotten that he has mad respect for the internet?

prolly 'cause the text is so small, but no-one's mentioned the italicized 'before' in the 6th panel...how to instruct the maid how to fold... "My mate's invented one that shits itself...brilliant, really"

The last panel has the most exact "Fun to quote" versus "dangerous if the people you're quoting to don't read achewood" balance.
