Mr P and the Mail

Recently MrP got snail mail from CDuckster. Days before in a phone call she had given me a heads up on this and so I was not surprised.   I had just gotten home and saw all the mail.  I started to look through it. Then MrP handed me CDuckster's envelope addressed to him. 

MrP  "Read this

I pulled out one page from torn from Newsweek with an article on each side and a sticky note from CD with the "Saw this and thought of you " message. 

Me  "Oh ya, CD said she was sending you something. What is is?"
Mr. P  "Read the note."
Me   "I did read the note. That's not what I'm asking. What is the article about ? CD will want to know what you think."
MrP. "Read the note."
Me  "I did read the note.  What do I tell CD."
MrP  "Read the note."
Me  "What article did you read. I'll have to tell CD something."
MrP  "Read the article."
Me     "Which one?"
MrP. "Read the note"
Me    "I did read the note. It doesn't tell me which one to read."
MrP  "Well, look at the articles."
Me    "Hum (flipping the page back and forth). It must be the one by Meltzer. You read him.
          Did you read it?"
MrP.  "I read both. Tell her I hope she didn't want me to read the one about the guy with the beard."
Me  "You know, having to read your mail and then trying to tell people what you think is not my job."
MrP   "Sure it is."

I still don't know what MrP thinks of either article.
