A Major Historical Find by Sir Joseph Lyons, Esq.

 

Word. Ok, so look. The other day I was going through my Grandpa's attic because we need to find enough evidence for a conviction and I stumbled across this box. I opened it up and found something UNBELIEVEABLE. "What did you find, SweetMonkeyCreek?", you ask momentarily pausing from giving me a shoulder rub. Well, kiddies, I found some old love letters from my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfather TiberiusMonkeyCreek. He was a Civil War vet and I'm pretty sure he died at the ripe old age of 31 from some sort of super-polio. The best part is, these letters date back to during his Civil War days when he would fight for the North...but I'm pretty sure he placed bets on the South to win. Seems like my GrandPappy had a thing for the ladies too. Let's take a look at some of these letters!

Dear Carla,
Oh, how I hate this loathsome war, my dearest Carla. I long for the days back on your plantation when we would frolic through the fields and throw mice at plague-ridden homeless people. I can still see you in your bustle; bosom heaving and thrusting. Damn, my dearest, you have a hindquarters that refuses to quit. When this war ends, I'm going to come back home to you and we will be wed and start the finest family this side of the Lincolns. We need to knock that guy down a couple of pegs anyway. Think of me my dear. Now I must go back to sawing gangrenous limbs off of people.
Humptastically Yours,
TiberiusMonkeyCreek


Isn't that sweet? Well, I thought it was until I read the next letter:


Dear Latoya,
Oh how I hate this loathsome war, my dearest Latoya. I just told that bitch Carla that I shall never see her again and that, after the North triumphs in this awful war, I will return to you and your sheep farm. She's gone for good, Baby, and now your corset is the only one I will clumisly paw at. Send me your love, my sweet Latoya, for that will be enough to stop musket bullets from piercing my rib cage.
Forever Horny,
TiberiusMonkeyCreek
P.S. Send some body armor along with the love too.

For shame, GrandPappy. I don't know how to feel about this next letter:

Dear Trevor,
Oh my most handsome Trevor. When will this infernal war end so that I may return to your beefy arms and be whisked away to your Maple Syrup Ranch in Vermont. Soon we shall be free of oppression and I can wear my pretty sun dress in absolute freedom. I clubbed a man to death with a musket today and all I could think of was our magical rendezvous in your father's outhouse where you would pump...

Annnnd, it gets pretty graphic after that. Now this last one is really confusing:


Dear Butter Churn,
Oh my darling Butter Churn, how I long to see you in this hell that is this war. If you were here by my side, your sturdy wooden handle would guide me through the darkness that is my soul right now. When I return to our Soft Pretzel Preserve in Pennsylvania, I shall make you my partner, for I can't live in sin like this much longer. Our erotic unions shall be smiled upon by God and we can live forever as man and Butter Churn. I have kissed this letter for you, my love. Every time I get an infection from my crotch splinters, I think of you.
Erotically Charged,
TiberiusMonkeyCreek

And to make things wierder, I found this!

Dear Tiberius,
Come back to me my love. My butter spoils without your skillful churning. There is a spot in my soul that is filled only with loneliness...and some butter. I wanted to tell you that I am with child and soon I will be bringing your little wooden child into this world. Come home to your family safe, Tiberius. The winters are cold and I fear I may become kindling. Fight well, my love.
All hot and bothered,
Butter Churn

Well, this really leaves more question than it answers....but it does explain why my Uncle Leroy keeps humping kitchen appliances...kinda. I don't think the Smithsonian is gonna want these.
