This week in Materpiece Theatre, we examine some of Jacob's earlier
works in his life, before his writing career began.

In his letter to the school's cafeteria service, he wrote:

"...Cuz, no one likes the sausage pizza, and prefer greatly
the pepperoni. So Willis, I think you see what I'm saying here,
get rid of the sausage, and make it pepperoni from here out."

If we take a closer look into this, we see Jacob's true intent
in this satyrical [sic] piece of literature. In fact, on the
bigger scale, Jacob prefers the sausages in life, symbolizing
rivers of flowing grease and sausage glaciers and stones. Of
course the pepperoni is a sausage smashed flat, symbolizing
the destruction of nature, which occured. I dare not go
any further, for I shall never completely understand this
all-touching item.

Go down to Bancroft, take a right and go four blocks down to the

down Adeline till you strike Ashby.

This is the boundary of the universe.  There are others, but
this was the first one discovered, and in consequence is most
famous and gets the most tourists.

OTTAWA, Nov. 11 (UPC) - Prime Minister Brian Mulroney unveiled the keystone
of his strategy to preserve the Canadian union today, announcing the
appointment of Gerald Oskoboiny of Toronto to the new cabinet-level position
of Minister of Noises.

	"Mr. Oskoboiny has proven himself in the private sector as one of
the foremost noise manufacturers in our fair nation." said Mulroney to a
press conference in the Canadian capital. "He is an expert on the noises
of almost every orifice of the body, and I am confident that he is the best
man to head up Noises Canada. Especially impressive is his ability to make
mouth noises while listening to jazz, which is absolutely astounding when
you consider that he's not black."

	Reached by phone at his Toronto office, Oskoboiny commented on the
challenges awaiting him in his new position. "Well, actually, I've been in
this particular position before. You see, I quite often hold the receiver
of my telephone under my chin while seated, since I need both hands free
to engage in textual description of my noises via electronic media."

	When pressed for a direct answer to the question, he said, "Well,
in the wake of the failure of the referendum on the Charlottetown accord,
I plan a two-pronged strategy during my first weeks as Minister of Noises.
First, I want to reach out to Quebeckers and aboriginal peoples by
concentrating on nose noises and hand-assisted mouth noises. Then,
after we have made these conciliatory moves, I will gradually introduce
a new emphasis on the common ground we all have as Canadians - namely,
the anal poot-poot."

	Approached for comment on this appointment, Quebec Premier Robert
Bourassa said, "Eu."

I am intending on visiting Seattle early next month some time.  Should I

seventy degrees and therefore thought they would be a good choice.  Please
