I wonder if they are thinking of the episode of Friends where Monica walks in on Chandler watching porn, so he tries to cover it up by turning to the Discovery Channel. She sees a shark attack going on and so she thinks he gets turned on by sharks!

I immediately flashed back to that episode of the Simpsons where Troy McLure married Selma Bouvier in order to cover up his sexual attraction to fish.

so what if the columnist gets fake letters, what does he expect? running it was an exercise in smug vanity, and he comes off like an ass.

Here's a link to the Golden Gate drunken swim letter that Violet mentioned:

Yeah, people like that exist, but this letter pretty much screamed "fake." There's a memorable bit about his swimming the San Francisco Bay drunk--except he says he "swam the Golden Gate" while drunk. I don't know...I live in SF and I have no idea what he's talking about. If he's talking about the SF Bay, he's lying. Hypothermia, anyone? Anyway, the letter is rambling and bizarre and although I am not a "fake" caller-outer by reflex, this one is pure random crap.

As much as this might be a hoax, people like this do really exist and it's quite...interesting, to say the least.
