But with way more laughs, like waaaay more. <BR/><BR/>Funniest letter among this plethora of funny letters is the letter about the letter F. Subtle laugh-out-loud high comedy with low comedy undertones (overtones?). <BR/><BR/>But they're all hysterical. My personal favourite is: "The Much Greater and Better than you, the reviewer to whom I'm writing this letter, Gatsby." <BR/><BR/>In a similar vein, reviewers would likely have called the films made of The Great Gatsby "The Miscast Gatsby". To add to the alleged miscastings I would like to suggest Marlon Brando play Jay Gatsby in the next remake - yes, even from the grave. <BR/><BR/>And this, aside from being moderately amusing - think of it: Marlon mumbling: Why not, Old Sport? - is really just a plug for my own current blog post. But enough about Marlon and moi. <BR/><BR/>Dear F or whoever really penned these bon mots (TH?): I doff my cloche to you, Old Sport.Vargashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18007441614879373433noreply@blogger.com
