Hey Doc, I'm sorry to inform you that the Diga jokes are getting quite
stale.  Its something that you have been ranking on for years and I also
feel that it is in very poor taste because you produce a competing product.
Please, I beg of you, produce an original and up-to-date tagline (yes,
Caligari is on the market).  I'd hate to see such a FUNNY guy have to use
such STALE, WORN OUT ideas.
