Viewer Mail, Viewer Mail,
Friday is the day we read viewer mail.
First we read them, Then we answer them,
That's the little thing we call Viewer Mail

Late Night with David Letterman
There we go. It's not Friday yet, but close enough.

So, it's time for viewer mail. Our first letter is from "Zutroy" in Canada, somewhere. Zutroy asks:

I'm not an expert in how the whole internet thing works, but I understand that whenever someone reaches your site through a search engine, you can find out what they were searching for to reach you. Can you tell us some of the weird responses that brought us here?
Late Night with David Letterman
Well, heck, we can do better than that...we just happen to have a little something here from the home office in Ohio City, Ohio...
Late Night with David Letterman
"Ohio City, Ohio?" Is that real? Paul, is that a real town? What kind of name is that? That'd be like having, I don't know, like a "New York City, New York" or something.
Late Night with David Letterman
It would be craziness!
Late Night with David Letterman
But anyway, here from the home office, in Ohio City, we have the Top Ten Conversatron Search Strings.

All true, I swear.

10. "kevin bacon nude"
Late Night with David Letterman
9. "senior prank ideas"
Late Night with David Letterman
8. "GE sucks"

Thought that one might be higher myself.
Late Night with David Letterman
7. "lobster magnet"
Late Night with David Letterman
6. "boys kissing"

That sort of thing is actually big on the Internet, or so I hear.
Late Night with David Letterman
5. "whitehouse.com"

Are we sure that's a search term, and not a reverse lookup? Oh, okay, we're sure. I just asked, because I know the Prez is a pretty big fan.

4. "buttafuoco"
Late Night with David Letterman
3. "goth sex"

I'm guessing it's moody.
Late Night with David Letterman
2. "buttafuoco"
Late Night with David Letterman
And the number one Conversatron search term is...

1. "Conversatron"
Late Night with David Letterman
Now be sure and stay tuned, because my guests tonight include Richard Simmons, Tom Brokaw, and a ferret who can use a karaoke machine.
