I happened to catch 60 minutes last night and was quite impressed by the
Andy Rooney piece.  He was talking about all the free stuff he gets in the
mail.  One of the items was a box of Heath candy bars.  He explained that he
he'd quit eating Heath bars since the butter in them was replaced with mar-
garine.

Lo and behold, a few years after mentioning this on the air he receives a
free box of Heath bars.  The company that makes them had heard his complaint,
and they have just come out with an "improved" Heath bar.  Of course the im-
provement is they have gone back to using butter.

What power this man has!  George Bush has nothing compared to this guy.
From his cubicle on W. 57th St., Andy Rooney can modify the basic institutions
that make us all Americans!

I want his job.  Can anyone figure out how to get me his job?  If he doesn't
write his own material, I want his writer's job.  If there isn't anyway to
get rid of him, I want to be his boss.  There must be a way!

If elected, appointed, or hired to take Andy Rooney's place, I promise to do
my utmost to make root beer taste like it did 20 years ago (before they took
out the sassafras).
