Hey! I saw a semicolon without the Fedderke Family sponsorship attribution.

I thought we had a deal. Welcher!

Dear Valued Rule of Three Sponsor:

Please accept our most sincere apologies for the oversight. Without your generous contribution, we would be unable to construct coherent, grammatically-correct sentence structures. The semicolon is indeed one of our most cherished tools, and we would be lost without it in our quiver. We further recognize that there are many award-winning columns available to you, and we are gratified that you have chosen to read ours. Please accept the enclosed coupon, which entitles the bearer to a $10.00 discount on the purchase of a Rule of Three commemorative necktie. And, thanks again for your readership.

Sincerely Yours,

Rule of Three Customer Service Dept.

Bill,

I have read this excellent piece twice and still am not able to find a reference to the “Rock Chalk Chant” which is the quintessential Auerbach Cigar equivalent, even better in my mind. Including Chris Teahan and Waving The Wheat are excellent inclusions but omitting The Chant is an oversight to me. Of course the ROT editorial board may choose to include it in a separate edition and it warrants its own edition. Additionally Wilt Chamberlain could take five editions , three for facts and two for mythology.

Attached for your listening pleasure :

Mike: Of course you’re right - how could I miss the Rock Chalk Chant? That was a rookie mistake - perhaps you’re right, it might merit its own separate piece - watch your inbox. And, thanks for keeping me focused on our shared Jayhawk heritage.
