[Magdalen] Closing mail account?

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

My wife was at a conference in New York City and when she got her meal, she
was aksed if she needed anything else. She asked the waiter for (you know
what's coming, don't you?) some coke.

He looked thunderstruck for just a moment, then suddenly, "Ohhhh.  Uh,
sure!"

Truth is often better than fiction.
