    A whale is either there or it's not. It isn't half there.

    But two whales can be half there.

    How can 1 whale not be half there, but 2 whale can be?

    Dear Bentley Families,

    You are receiving this email because we still have not received a gift or pledge from your family towards the Annual Fund.* While we understand that this has been a particularly challenging economic time for many of our community members we hope that you will still consider a gift or a pledge to the Annual Fund. In an effort to keep tuition as affordable as possible, Bentley, as other Independent Schools, sets a tuition level below our annual operating costs. The difference, or gap, between tuition and the price of a Bentley education is covered by Annual Fund dollars raised. This year the gap is $1,500 per student. While we do not expect every family to give at this level we do expect each family to participate to the best of their abilities. Every dollar donated will be used this fiscal year towards the benefit of your children.

    You may make an easy no-fee gift by credit card by clicking on the GIVE button on the right side of our home page: www.bentleyschool.net . You may also mail in a check or make a donation of stock. No gift is too small. Every single gift counts. We receive gifts from $1 - $40,000. Please join us in supporting Bentley to provide the very best education possible for our students.

    Avoid a call- make your gift or pledge today.

    Many thanks sincerely, "

    My reply"
    To Whom It May Concern:

    I would love to be able to help with your fund raiser, unfortunately due to the current economic situation I will be unable to help with your fund raiser. I'm doing everything I can just to ensure my daughter has a proper eduction. This includes a list of things we've had to cut from out normal lives. Two of the major things we've had to cut out is electricity and food. While we do have some food, we have no electricity in the conventional sense. I have to power my computer using a battery being recharged from stolen lemons (my neighbor has a tree). Is there any way you could maybe have a fund raiser or pass around a donation plate to help me and my family?

    Humbly Yours,"

    This goes on back and forth for a while with his daughters school.

    I think you misunderstood what he was saying.

    If a cop walks up to you and says "Hey want a job writing malware that can still credit card info?" that's entrapment. However, if a cop walks up and says "Hey you looking for a job?" and you respond "Fucking A I am. I want to write software that steals shit" it's not."
