Mimi Boozehammer asked Rocky Flintstone:

Rocky...went to the Melbourne reading. I did not understand the tittering and downright sniggering of the audience regarding such a brilliant piece of literature....and, Rocky...they drank every time the phrase "Belinda blinked" was uttered.? I am sure this is not your audience of choice. I am currently about to present it to the St Barnabas Ladies Guild of Celibate Married Women with Sour Faces.

Rocky Flintstone Hi Rosie, thank you for such an observant question... I appreciate your disgust at the lewd company my son and his friends keep. I can only hope you didn't pay full face price for the ticket you were sold to gain admission. As for the drinking, I do appreciate that Australia is a thirsty place, but tittering whilst one drinks is really not acceptable. Thank you for alerting me to this issue.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the missionary work you are presently engaged in; the conversion of the Ladies Guild of CMW with Soured Faeces to the modern works of English which myself and Mr. Shakespeare are advocating, is indeed truly demanding. Furthermore from my recent communications with Mr Shakespeare I can assure you he is totally committed to the project. Indeed he urged me most deeply to reply at the first instant to your question. So do not worry you are not alone, the greatest minds of English Literature including Mr Sheen... an actor of some repute I might add... are at your side. Thank you for your correspondence, we wish you well. Rocky xx
