    The next time I got to a town to check my emails I received this message: `Mate, stick to birds and lay off people who are locked up and less fortunate than you. You are not funny. Just pathetic.' My first ever hate mail! I was used to hearing `You're not funny, Dooley, just pathetic,' from producers and former lovers, but from a total stranger? Ouch.
