Dear Intelli-head,
I am having trouble getting in touch with an old acquaintance. Despite efforts on my part, the only response I have gotten is a postcard in the mail. Any suggestions?

Dear Renee,
As my Intelli scanned your letter, it picked up on a certain peculiarity, a detail you may have ignored. You say you want to get in touch with an "old" acquaintance. You do realize, Renee, that old people must be treated differently. Here are some suggestions:
• Talk a little louder. Sometimes, old acquaintances forget to wear their hearing aids.
• Learn to play shuffleboard. The old seem to enjoy this game immensely.
• Go to the hot old people hangouts. My Intelli's calculations tell me that you should try hospitals, nursing homes, and the state of Florida.
Good luck!
