Our Correspondence

---

On May 15, 1999, I received my first message from an overseas agent, PriSheri. She was upset over my decision to share with the public the knowledge I had of the Men in Khakis. In her message, she insisted that we change our title to the Men in Tights to retain our anonymity. I expressed my discontent at such a notion, but she took her ideas to the higher ups. Here is the letter I received from my colleague in the UK on May 17, following her meeting with our supervisor. Please note that certain information has been omitted to prevent harm of our agents currently in the field, both in the United States and abroad:

Ref: Results of Agent Pri Fly 007 Disciplinary Enquiry.

Dear Agent 007,
I dare say that you have the guts to email me after what you have done. Nope, no excuses Pri Fly. Spilling it all for the sake of cheap thrill is not funny. Now the agency have to go down under to start on a new programme. After much consultation, Chief Fly-ers and I have decided that Tights will stay. And as a just punishment, my dear Pri Fly, you will have to undertake the heavy responsibility of convincing the other Agents to shed those khakis.

Now. Now.

Don't fret. Thank your lucky stars that Chief Fly-ers has some sort of a crush on you. (Otherwise you would have been unforgivably suspended from your duty.)

To be fair, Pri Fly. You do have your pros. I personally think that minus your mischief, you are rather delightful. Your sense of humour, quite refreshing. Untypical of the other khaki clad, dim witted agents, you so often hang out with.

But alas! Unlike Chief Fly-ers, I have no experience in dealing with you,
face to face, Pri Fly. So I can only imagine your boundless charms through
the Chief's vivid description of you.

From what I gathered from the Chief,
(1)You must be quite a piece of hunk to begin with.. or
(2)The Chief is beginning to lose the Chief's own marbles.
Which one Pri Fly? You tell me.

And before I go. One more thing. [....information omitted....]

Till we cyber meet again, Agent!

Yours suspensefully.
Agt Pri Sheri 717

Psstt... The Chief has asked me to advice you against making any futher
derogatory remarks about Agent Rob Downey 911. The Chief does not want you to mention his state of soberness again. Ever.

Well, I have expressed to the MiK board of supervisors my objections to the Men in Tights proposal, citing the movie by the same name which placed Mel Brooks on our observation list ("Dracula: Dead and Loving It" didn't help either). Currently, our arguments are under review, and until a further decision has been made, we will remain the Men in Khakis. However, with summer coming, I would not be averse to becoming the Men in Golf Shirts or the more elusive Men in Khaki Shorts. I will keep you updated on any changes.

As for PriSheri, I only hope that I will have the chance to meet her out on the field some day, perhaps helping each other out of a sticky situation while working in some exotic location...

Wish to respond? E-mail me, e-mail PriSheri, visit her at Dreamland, or

Take yourself

(Thanks to PriSheri for the background.)
