Summary
Responding to their idea for a comedy (as outlined in MA 3659.73). Saying that it is very amusing and original, but that it sounds like a "one joke idea" that you might read in the New Yorker. Noting, however, but others might be interested in it and "just because I do not do handsprings over this idea does not mean that I am not eagerly in the market for any other idea that strikes you."
