Due to the nature and importance of this story, I am waiving the one minute limit.

Dear Friends;

I have some troubling news to share today. I recently learned there is a man named One Minute Wit who is not happy about me using his name for my publication. He has filed a lawsuit to stop me from publishing under his name.

I have tried to reason with him. Here is a transcript of that conversation:

“Hello.”

“Yes, Is this One Minute Wit?”

“Speaking.”

“I am Mark Starlin…”

“The crook who stole my name.”

“No. I was unaware that there was anyone named One Minute Wit when I chose the name. I did a Google and Domain search, and there were no matches.”

“Because I like my privacy. Now you have gone and stolen my identity.”

This went on for quite a while. Me trying to be reasonable. Him calling me a thief. Finally, I had put up with enough of his hostility.

“Listen, One. I am having a hard time believing your parents actually named you One Minute Wit.”
