ROCKET MAIL (Second Class)
Michaels, you nitwit:
That wasn't Eros, you idiot! You were supposed to go to Erie—Erie, Pa., right here on Earth!
If you remembered even your sixth grade Solar System history, you would know that the planetoid Eros was settled in 2141 by a group of longhairs headed by Prof. M. R. Snock, a philosopher with a dozen university degrees.
He wanted to show that war, crime and all forms of violence would disappear if people thought only beautiful thoughts.
The planetoid is lousy rich with erydnium ore and the people keep in luxury selling it to space freighters. They spend their time being gentle and thinking beautiful. There hasn't even been a spitball thrown there in eight generations.
A fine place for you to show up mahouting six wrestlers with no foreheads. You're lucky they haven't thrown you in jail.
