Since Jimmy Carter’s victory two weeks ago, telegrams have been coming in fast and furious from everywhere. I checked the list of a few of those that were not heard over the news:
“Way to go Jimmy. We are behind you all the way.” — Rosalynn and kids.
“We hope your smile will last for the next four years. It is really good for our business.” — Ultra-Brite.
“When do I get my plane tickets for getting back to the United States?” — Henry K.
“We sincerely hope you don’t get caught like we did.” — Dick and Spiro.
“Thanks for all the advertisements for us during your campaign.” — Skippy, Pal and Peter Pan.
“Good luck when you try to break our company up. We hope the country doesn’t have to run on peanut oil instead of our kind.” — Exxon.
“Congratulations on your victory. I hope I helped get some votes for you. Maybe I can see you sometime.” — Miss November.
“Finally we have found someone to get along with.” — A democratic Congressman.
“We just want you to know that you are not the only one.” — The Lust in Our Hearts.
“How about a shipment of peanuts with our wheat next time.” — Vladimir.
“Whatever you do, don’t fall or bump your head.” — Gerry.
“We hope you will call on us anytime if you have any problems in the White House.” — Woodward and Bernstein.
“Now that the elections are over, how about fixing me up with a good looking, female peanut plant?” — Herb the Plant, Joe’s Diner, Texarkana.
