Dear Good Doctor,

Why does every intelligent person on the face of the earth think we are a joke? Our psychics are real! I swear! The fact that we cater to the least educated sectors of our society is just a strange coincidence. Honest. Besides, their problems are so easy to figure out. Not enough money. Unfaithful boyfriend/girlfriend. Dismal family life. Price of "Colt 45 Double Malt" keeps going up. You too could figure it out in ten free minutes. So give us a break, will you, homie? Our scam isn't even close to being as big a ripoff as the TV evangelist business! I'd love to make even half of what those guys rake in.

the doctor's reply:

You are probably right. But isn't that kind of like saying that Chuckie Manson is a nicer guy than Jeffey Dahmer was, because at least he didn't eat his victims.? Give ME a break! In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"
