THE
SNIPPS
LETTERS

 
Midas Muffler
 

     To Whom it may concern:
 

     My name is Kenneth Snipps and I seek your guidance as I 

recently had a conversation with my neighbor Mr. Biggs regarding 

mufflers.  I am not a mechanic so I do not understand the inner 

workings of the muffler.  Therefore, please do not get mad at me.  

Although I am good with my hands and I like people, I am 

ignorant to muffler technology.  As a result, I seek your council.
 

    Mr. Biggs recently had some muffler repair work done again on 

his car, as he has a combustion-powered vehicle.  I told him that if 

he had an electric powered car, this problem would have been 

avoided.  I explained that electric cars are better for the 

environment, save on gas, are compact, and do not have mufflers 

because there are no pistons causing chaos.  Mr. Biggs said, “I will 

never drive a Shitbox like that.”  I have never heard of the 

Shitbox, is that a European car?  
 

    When I was at Midas Muffler with Mr. Biggs getting his repairs 

done, I asked the boy who had grease all over his body, “Who 

makes the Shitbox?"  He came out from under the vehicle and 

said, ”Do you have shit for brains or are you just a dumb sack of 

shit?”  I replied, “No, I am Kenneth Snipps”.  He pulled up his 

pants, whipped the sweat from his brow, belched, and then said, 

“oh”.  Obviously you can see my problem.  Who manufactures 

the Shitbox and does it come with a muffler?  
 
 

    Your kindness by way of a response will remind me of a warm, 

summer day.
 
 

       A friend to all,
 

       Kenneth Snipps
