Dear Mister Wonderful-
In these blistering-hot days of summer, how do the inventive folks at
Wonderful Labs keep cool? Any pointers for those who have no fans or
air conditioning? (Or money to go purchase them with, for that matter?)
I tried to coax the French teenage boys next door to come over and fan
me with palm fronds, but they've got rather tight schedules. Or an
uptight host family, to be more accurate. (They also require payment for
their services. Can you believe the kids these days?) Please let me
know how to keep this delicate tush of mine frosty!
Swelteringly yours,
Mrs. Hayes

Dear Red Hot Riding Hood,
Oh, we're with you, honey. We might have plenty of fans, but that
doesn't make us cool. Wait. That can't be right.
The question is: do your young Frenchmen also have rather tight
derrieres? I should hope not. You don't want them sleenking aroun' and
*raising* your temperature, do you? No no.
Plus, entre nous, while the eager young Jacques en le Box may often
smile like D'Artagnan, they also frequently smell like Pepe Le Peu.
Especially in this weather. Which is, as you say, hotter than a hatful
of Hades. Not that you said that exactly, but you would have if you'd
been nipping into the "Hi-Pruf X-Tra Sekrit" batch of experimental
Alliterative Ale that Mister Monkey and his Pirates of Penance have been
brewing down in the Leipzig Lab. It's a quirky quaff of quill and
quinine quickened quintessence, once you strain out the fur.
Anyway. Point is. We here at Wonderful Labs like to use evaporation
for our cooling needs. "Get us wet, then blow."
That's our motto.

But this wonderful life

And when you find it
It's a wonderful life that you bring
It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing"
