Dear
Kohl’s,
I
live under a giant rock, so that I may bar myself from all popular
culture. You may hear me saying things like, “Justin Timberlake – who’s
that?” and “What’s an MP3?” I sincerely do not know what these things
are. I have never even heard of Justin Timberlake.
I
have been living under a rock for the better part of the century (not
that I keep track of time), listening to jazzy tunes on my gramophone or
reading about President Truman (rumor has it he is going to drop some
sort of explosive on Japan). I am doing this because I want to
eventually emerge into the world of the future, like Brendan Fraser in
Blast From the Past (which I have never heard of). Who is Brendan
Fraser anyway?
But
to get straight to the point, I believe I am finally ready to see the
world! I am sure it is filled with fine automobiles that can travel over
50 miles an hour, machines that can add numbers for you, and maybe even
televisions with colors! I am very frightened about this, but also
confident that I will feel at home. I can adapt quickly to different
environments and I embrace change like a long-lost son (or like a
hundred dollar bill I am holding on a windy day).
I am
writing to you to inquire about your clothing. In the future (now),
people are probably wearing space suits and such. I am currently wearing
clothing from the past and need to update my style to fit in. Send me a
catalog, or some future clothing, or something, to my giant rock (at
above address).
Thank
you, and I look forward to your response. It will help facilitate my
transition into THE FUTURE! Not that I have heard of your store or
anything.
From
the Past,

Kevin
