Dear Organizing Committee,
From the day one, you have been getting nothing but kudos from all around. How come? what about poor us the participants? If we didn't participate en mass, what would have happened? We need plaudits from the organizing committee as well! Jokes apart, dear Organizing committee members, all of us, the participants, are indeed indebted to you lovely bunch of indefatigable people, for being selfless,so considerate and meticulous, going into minor details in giving all of us a memorable get together, which would be reposited indelibly in a safe niche in our hearts for ever! Thank you dear friends, thank you ever so much! We are lucky that our batch is blessed with people like you. A hitch though, you should have left apart at least five precious minutes for questions and answers, especially after a very lucid lecture by an erudite research professor like Geri! At least at this late hour , may I ask Geri the Hon. Professor, whether he made use of live models for checking out his different varieties and sizes of pants and brassiers! I envy him for that. I want to inform him that I have devised a unisex pant, where there is a Zip in the centre, one placed anterially and another in the posterior aspect so that in any eventuality, the wearer can make use of either the anterior or the posterior Zip , depending on the requirement. This I have found, is ideal for emergencies. e.g if you have taken a laxative the previous night and you are stuck in a traffic jam! The wearer can open the Zip in a jiffy. A word of caution though, he or she should be careful in closing the Zip. Take care not to let the Zip catch the piZ. In my next intimation, I will be able to present detailed drawings of the devised pants! Take care, and all the best to every body.
