Mischief, happiness, revelry. In the very center: some champion penning an entertaining tounge in cheek reply for the rest of us to enjoy while we watch on having a smoke. How can the situation get better?

It doesn't look like a birthday party. But they look very happy. At the end of the month, they are receiving their corresponding paychecks?

The story is hilarious - in addition to all the other content, there is a P.S., "You do not need to send us a message telling us you sent us a message!" Ahead of their time!

He's also writing out the full menu of the BBQ they are planning, and how much Capstan they will need.

Quill and parchment, at last, devices I can understand.
