&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Strong Bad,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am a manager and I have been told I must talk to one&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
of my underlings about their stench. As the foremost&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
expert in dealing with smelly underlings, I ask you, what is&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
the best way to go about this? I wish to do this with&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
some tact &amp;amp;amp; professionalism.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sincerely,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
PlasticDiverGuy&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Strong Bad pronounces each word in the greeting separately, with short deliberate pauses between them. He pronounces &amp;amp;quot;Dartmouth&amp;amp;quot; as two separate words, and &amp;amp;quot;Scotia&amp;amp;quot; phonetically as SKO-tee-uh.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Man, that show Nova is boring, but I&amp;#039;d watch a show called Dartmouth anyday. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{clears screen}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Now lemme tell ya PastyDeadGuy, you came to the right man. I&amp;#039;ve got so many underlings, I&amp;#039;ve had to deal with nearly every awkward social situation under the awkward social sun. I&amp;#039;m an expoit! &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{clears screen}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Firstly, nothing says tact and professionalism like sending a subtle hint with a hilarious novelty t-shirt. So in your situation, you could just start wearing a shirt that has like,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to a blank T-shirt}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{A scientist holding a test tube appears on the shirt.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{A clothespin appears on the scientist&amp;#039;s nose.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{voiceover}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; —on his nose, and underneath it says: &amp;amp;quot;You Reek-A!&amp;amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{&amp;amp;quot;You Reek-A!&amp;amp;quot; appears on the shirt. Cut back to the Lappy}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; That way, your smelly underling, or smunderling, can get the message from across the room, and you can safely stay out of stink&amp;#039;s reach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper titled &amp;amp;quot;Da News Papes&amp;amp;quot;. He looks up.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; You know, I think I&amp;#039;d probably watch a TV show called &amp;amp;quot;Stink&amp;#039;s Reach&amp;amp;quot;, too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{He looks back down. Cut back to the Lappy.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{typing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Secondly, nothing says tact and professionalism like slowly revealing a sensitive topic to a friend or loved one—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to Strong Sad, drawing on a piece of paper with a pencil.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{voiceover}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; —with a clever connect-the-dots puzzle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to a closeup of the paper. It&amp;#039;s a crocodile wearing sunglasses, holding a sign that reads &amp;amp;quot;WE&amp;#039;RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO FLUSH TWICE!&amp;amp;quot;. The connect-the-dots portion is only the rectangular outline of the sign. Strong Sad stops drawing.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG SAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; What is he trying to say to me with this cryptic message? &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{taps the pencil twice on &amp;amp;quot;cryptic&amp;amp;quot;}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut back to the Lappy.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to the pool, slowly zooming in. A sunburned Strong Mad faces away from the pool, which Coach Z is in.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG BAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{voiceover}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; —on your brother&amp;#039;s giant, square, billboard-sized back!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Strong Mad lowers his singlet revealing his back which reads &amp;amp;quot;your tiny bathing suit demeans us ALL!&amp;amp;quot; Cut to a closeup.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;COACH Z:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{slowly}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Your tiny bathing suit demeans us all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to Coach Z.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;COACH Z:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Aw, fine then! I&amp;#039;ll take it orf!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{He reaches underwater and pulls out a very small pink g-string. The water turns black around him, accompanied by an odd humming noise. Cut back to behind Strong Mad.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;STRONG MAD:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; PUT IT BACK ON! PUT IT BACK ON!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut back to the Lappy.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to a picnic. Homestar Runner is sitting at the table. Strong Bad is wearing an oven mitt and holding a plate with a hot dog with his right hand, and holding a bottle of ketchup in his left. Some ketchup has spilled on the ground. More hot dogs can be seen on a grill behind him.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Cut to the picnic table as Homestar puts the hot dog down. It has &amp;amp;quot;you&amp;#039;ve had that piece&amp;amp;quot; written on it in ketchup.}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;

I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. If elected class president, I can&amp;#039;t promise you Coke in the water fountains, but I &amp;#039;&amp;#039;can&amp;#039;&amp;#039; promise a hard-worker that will make a difference.

It&amp;#039;s like I regressed back to the fifth grade there. And the golden days of the five-paragraph essay. Well, good luck with your smunderling, PranceyDirtGirl.

* The [[Five-paragraph essay|five-paragraph essay]] is composed of an intro paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Essays of this type are commonly used throughout late elementary and middle school. This email roughly follows the five-paragraph essay format, but uses four body paragraphs (T-shirt, Connect-the-Dots, Billboard Back and Condiment Writing) instead of three.&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;amp;quot;Pact and trofessionalism&amp;amp;quot; is a [[Spoonerisms|spoonerism]]. The spoonerism in this case switches the initial letters in two words of a phrase, so &amp;amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;t&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;act and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;p&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;rofessionalism&amp;amp;quot; becomes &amp;amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;p&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;act and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;t&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;rofes&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;sionalism&amp;amp;quot;. The third &amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is not part of the spoonerism; it was simply a typo.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Talking to your... &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{exhales}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, he&amp;#039;s tryin&amp;#039; to tell somebody they suck?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Or something? Tell &amp;#039;em they stink?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{The &amp;amp;quot;You Reek-A!&amp;amp;quot; shirt comes up}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; We made that shirt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, we did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Gubby wears it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{slight laugh}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Does she? Nice!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{laughing, overlapping}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I&amp;#039;ve seen Gubby wear it pretty recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Ohh. I don&amp;#039;t think I have one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I don&amp;#039;t have one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I always think of that—that that scientist looks like Stephen Colbert. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Mike laughs aloud}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{pause until Strong Bad looks up from Da NewsPapes; Mike chuckles}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Wasn&amp;#039;t there another time where Strong Bad—&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{laughs}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{underneath}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, he goes &amp;amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m talkin&amp;#039; to you&amp;amp;quot;—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; —talks to the viewer...on the toilet?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Well, he&amp;#039;s talkin&amp;#039; to Baby Ruth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Oh, he&amp;#039;s tal—oh, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{deep voice}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m talkin&amp;#039; to you, Baby Ruth.&amp;amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; That was the...standard piece-of-crap shaped &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Mike laughs}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; candy bar. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{pause until cut away from Strong Sad&amp;#039;s connect-the-dots}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; That&amp;#039;s a good-lookin&amp;#039;... alligator, Mike. It was a pretty gross message, man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; What was it, I was...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{overlapping}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; It was potty humor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I couldn&amp;#039;t figure—I couldn&amp;#039;t figure it out. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{laughs}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; It was &amp;#039;&amp;#039;literally&amp;#039;&amp;#039; potty humor. Whoa, look at the...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{laughing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; sensual way Strong Mad stripped down into his...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Mike laughs}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; half-skivvies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{cut to Coach Z; laughing}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Speaking of sensual...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{breaking up in laughter}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah. That was the most disgusting... &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Mike laughs}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; wow, this is a pretty vile email! Lotta gross things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{overlapping}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, that little—why were those little spikies on that—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{underneath, sounding slightly creeped out}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I don&amp;#039;t know, Mike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; —&amp;#039;&amp;#039;thong&amp;#039;&amp;#039; that Coach Z was wearing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{simultaneously}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I think it was—it was supposed to be that it was like, ratty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Oh, okay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{overlapping}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; It was, like, really old and crappy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; It wasn&amp;#039;t—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Strong Bad serves Homestar a hot dog}&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Look at that—ooh, let&amp;#039;s—I wanna grill out! That&amp;#039;s a good-lookin&amp;#039; set o&amp;#039; hot dogs on that...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{Mike laughs}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; grill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; That hamburger was lookin&amp;#039; a little grey, though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, that hamburger looked under...overcooked, rather. &amp;#039;S a piece of cilantro? Is that what it says?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I th—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Did it specifically say that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I think so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{quietly, underneath}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Yeah, that&amp;#039;s good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; I think it was cilantro. Could&amp;#039;ve maybe been...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{overlapping}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Um...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; No, I think it maybe says it&amp;#039;s...&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{trails off}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; cilantro...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MIKE:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;{overlapping}&amp;#039;&amp;#039; No, I know, I&amp;#039;m just sayin&amp;#039; it...could&amp;#039;ve been.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;MATT:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Oh, right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
