I've been asked to submit a proposal for a seminar on building Cigar

But apparently we're not allowed to use the word "cigar" in
advertising or describing the session. Are Lee Valley's customers too
stupid to understand that the store doesn't sell tobacco products?


Call it a "Seegar" box guitar and, if anyone inquires, tell them the
truth or explain that it is "well-known" that the instrument was named
after Mr. Smokey Seegar.


Monica's box.

The description of the seminar ought to resolve any mystery--you could
adequately describe Mr. Seegar's work. I suspect the group would enjoy
assisting you with this!



This is politically correct insanity! Robin, you should be ashamed of
yourself.


Well, hell, call it something else:
1. The non-abortion woodworking project,
2. Make a banjo like the coloreds did,
3. Wetback violin
4. What women are not allowed to play or male-only seminar
5. "... and you can hide your stash inside!"
and so on.
