Most Holy Marlon the Flatulator, could you send me a estimate in Indian Rupees for a 'replica' of some bodily part of yours that I could use as a door stopper. I'm looking for something small that I can wedge between the door and the floor so that the door does not SLAM shut in the heavy wind. How much will it cost? Will that be in wood or rubber?

MM [I understand there has been some dissent about my nomination as Goa's next patron saint. These detractors claim that my NRI status does not make me a true Goan saint and that what Goa needs is a pure home grown saint. To this vocal minority I say, judge me by my actions and the wonderful legacy I will be leaving behind for the goanese people.]

And I a totally agree with you. White skin, brown skin, NRI, IGO, GO, Goan, non-Goan... what does it matter? A Saint by any name still smells the same. And in your case the odour is particularly devastating. By the way what's this 'legacy' thing. Could you please specify what is the 'legacy' you have left behind. Where did you leave it? Is it in wood or in rubber? Or is it still in the rubber?

MM [Your friendly saint, Marlon]
