Lilly Full of Important Questions?

5th Wing-

If you haven't received an email from Lilly lately, you probably don't have an email account. One half of the laundry lady duo, Lilly has been in the business of sending confusing emails for 80 years. In that time, she has developed an immediately recognizable email style, punctuated solely by question marks.

Jeff Larsen, one of the million people on her email list, is a publisher with Random House that is currently involved in bringing a collection of her emails to the public. He thought of the idea one day after reading about a sock that she found in someone's laundry. "Her email said something like, 'Sock in somebody's laundry? Come and claim your sock whenever you want?' And I thought, somebody should claim that sock. There have been a lot of lost socks in my life and it's about time I claim one. This stuff is deep!"

The collection, entitled "Email Time With Lilly Please?" is set to hit stores this summer. Previews on Amazon.com quote, "God is watching you and please pick up this peanut butter cookie wrapper?" and "This is Lilly? Someone stole my period, comma, and colon keys? Please return so I do not become demon lady and poop in your laundry bag?" and "Lilly is hungry like the wolf? Name that band?"
