Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Dear Paul Sassone,

Your columns in the Pioneer Press always brighten my day. I laughed out loud at your recount in the Dec. 3 edition of an online merchant calling you a “fat guy” and urging you to buy their shirts for a “portly person.” Even funnier was the “bookstore behemoth” recommending that you read a book titled “I Could Pee on This.” You’re very good at exposing the intrusiveness of big business in a non-acidic, lighthearted way.
