    BROTHER JOHN PATRICK O'ROURKE

    SOUTHEASTERN AREA RESCUE MISSION

    OF MELBOURNE


    Dear Friend:

    Perhaps you have heard of me and my work on a nationwide basis in the cause of Temperance. Each Winter for the past fourteen years, I have made a tour of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, and have delivered a series of lectures on the evils of drinking. On these tours, I have been accompanied by my young friend, Moe de Lon. Moe, a young man of good family and excellent background, was a pathetic example of a life ruined by excessive indulgence in whiskey and women of questionable character.

    Moe would appear with me at the lectures and sit on the platform in his rumpled white suit, wheezing and staring at the audience through his bleary bloodshot eyes, sweating profusely, picking his nose, passing gas, and making obscene gestures at the audience, while I would point him out as an example of what over-indulgence can do to a person.

    Last year, unfortunately, Moe passed away. A mutual friend has given me your name, and I wonder if you would be available to take Moe's place on my 2011 Winter tour.

    Thank you for your assistance.


    Yours in Faith,
    Brother John Patrick O'Rourke

    Tell you what Joe ...

    If you'll fill your [two] bags with LN goodies for me (and a mate or three), I'm sure we can arrange to drive you around for a few weeks while you shake and slobber on someone else's stage

    Whenever I had a drink I could hear my wife calling
    me in a loud voice.
    I used to think she was calling me "Moe de Lon"
    but she was really screaming out

    "Mow de lawn".
