Spaw,

Since you'll read this post-operatively, I guess it's a little late to tell you about it, but I did some research out here on the left coast and found a newer surgical robot available at a reduced rate. It's called the GOLDBERG, made from recycled Volkswagen wiring and old hookah parts, it's demonstrated its efficacy in retreiveing lost roach clips from storm drains, a nylon stocking from the gullet of Beans the performing dog, and has sucessfully fished the wiring of a '62 Morgan.

The inventor/operator Josh "Free Wind" Lotbotky completed his certificate in alternate reality communications and applied degaussing at the Berkeley Center for the Enchange of Information and Microbes. Although not currently accepting any of the nationally recognized health plans, Free Wind's services are available for "anything really righteous and knee-walking, man, or a Harley...yeah,...that'd be cool..."

Sorry I couldn't have gotten this to you sooner.

We hope this finds you on a speedy and smooth road to recovery.

Love,

Dave & Pam
