Geoffrey Dickens, a Member of Parliament in England, had a problem when he went to a party to meet some if his voters. There was a very unattractive woman at the party who followed him everywhere he went. He was trying to talk to "his public" but every time he turned around, there she was again-asking him stupid questions. He couldn't escape! By the end of the party he was very angry. A few days later he received a letter from her. His irritation disappeared when he finished reading her letter, because at the end of the letter, after her name, she had written "Horseface". The poor woman obviously knew about her disadvantages but she could laugh about them. Geoffrey liked that. So he sent her the photo she had asked for and he added a short personal note: "To Horseface, with best wishes, Geoffrey Dickens". However, he had a terrible shock later when his secretary asked him about the letter. "It was from that ugly woman at the party", the secretary said. Then he added, "I wrote Horseface after her name so you'd know which one she was".
