Dear
Congressman Andrews,
I was
wondering if I could get an internship with you. I want to be the next
Congressman Andrews. Is there even an internship program? I will do
great things and have a suave haircut, just like you. I will pass
legislation and have shiny teeth. How do I go about getting an
internship? Do you have a Rob Andrews Internship Program Official
Application Form G-12? Is there an online application?
Is this a paid internship? If so, I don’t care. It’s not about the
money, you see. It’s about becoming the next Rob Andrews. I will attend
Congressional hearings and wear expensive suits. I will travel the
country making speeches and I will clip my ear hair in the morning. When
I have ear hair, of course. Right now I don’t. But I’m just saying. (Not
that you have ear hair.)
What
kinds of important Congressional tasks does this internship require of
me? Will I be giving speeches about abortion and the allocation of
monies? What is the allocation of monies? Do I get a free tie, or should
I bring my own? If yes, is a clip-on acceptable? Sorry about all the
questions, but I need to be learning if I’m going to be the next Rob
Andrews. Do you care if I change my name to Kevin Andrews? How about Rob
Andrews? (If people say “Oh, you’re that Congressman Rob somebody,” I’ll
just say, “No, no. Rob Andrews is a great man. I’m just Rob
Andrews.”)
So,
when can I start, and do I get a raise on the $20K we discussed? My lack
of experience in the “political arena” is certainly compensated by my
monster skills in the “paper delivery arena.” In essence, paper delivery
is just like politics! I deliver papers to people in the morning, just
like Congressmen pass laws. It’s all the same if you ask me.
Please let me know where my official parking spot is. I don’t want to
park in yours, because you are a great man with a great parking spot.
What should my first speech to the President be about? Can I call you
Robbie? Let me know about all this stuff. Robbie.
Sincerely,

Kevin
