It’s pledge week here chez Doctor J, and we are ready to field your calls.
Many of you may be unaware that this site receives no subvention of any kind: neither public nor private, open nor clandestine. The whole thing is powered by a single hamster in an exercise wheel.
The hamster has not eaten for weeks. You need to send money so we can buy him some life-giving carrots. (Please don’t send carrots; I’ll handle that end.) If you do not: The hamster will die. The hamster will expire in furry agony, the wheel will grind to a halt; and this fine site will go off the air -- forever.
And it will be all -- your -- fault ….
Everyone who contributes will be enrolled on the Honor Roll, to be prominently posted for all to see. Categories (by rank):
Supporter:
Give us all your possessions, plus your first-born.
Minor supporter:
Liquid assets only, and the runt of the litter.
Cheapskate:
$10,000.
Flint-fisted penny-pinching tightwad:
$1000.
Lowest form of pond scum:
$100.
[The remaining categories cannot be named on a family-oriented blog.]
So -- send in your hard-earned dollars, for the good of the cause.
If the drive is successful, we might have another one next month.
