In 1984, a seventh-grader named Andy Smith wrote to then-President of the United States,
Ronald Reagan, with a request:
Today my mother declared my bedroom a disaster area. I would like to request federal funds to hire a crew to clean up my room.Reagan replied with the following letter.

Andy Smith
Irmo, South Carolina
May 11, 1984
Dear Andy:
I'm sorry to be so late in answering your letter but as you know I've been in China and found your letter here upon my return.
Your application for disaster relief has been duly noted but I must point out one technical problem: the authority declaring the disaster is supposed to make the request. In this case your mother.
However setting that aside I'll have to point out the larger problem of available funds. This has been a year of disasters, 539 hurricanes as of May 4th and several more since, numerous floods, forest fires, drought in Texas and a number of earthquakes. What I'm getting at is that funds are dangerously low.
May I make a suggestion? This administration, believing that government has done many things that could better be done by volunteers at the local level, has sponsored a Private Sector Initiative program, calling upon people to practice voluntarism in the solving of a number of local problems.
Your situation appears to be a natural. I'm sure your mother was fully justified in proclaiming your room a disaster. Therefore you are in an excellent position to launch another volunteer program to go along with the more than 3,000 already underway in our nation—congratulations.
Give my best regards to your mother.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagan

Add this to the stupid list...
Man dissolves after he falls into Yellowstone hot spring
http://myfox8.com/2016/11/17/man-dissolves-after-he-falls-into-yellowstone-hot-spring/
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — A trip to one of the nation’s natural wonders ended in an unnatural tragedy.
A 23-year-old Oregon man essentially dissolved inside a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming after he accidentally fell into it.
The bizarre incident happened back in June when Colin Nathaniel Scott went to the park with his sister to find a place to “hot pot.”
According to a recently released report from park officials, Scott and his sister went to an unauthorized area near the Norris Geyser.
“They were specifically moving in that area for a place that they could potentially get into and soak,” Deputy Chief Ranger Lorant Veress told CNN affiliate KULR. “I think they call it hot potting.”
Scott had reached down to check the temperature of a spring when he slipped and fell into it. Rescuers later found Scott’s body inside the pool, but couldn’t retrieve it because of a lightning storm in the area. When they came back the next day, no remains were found beneath the spring’s churning, acidic waters.
“In a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving,” Veress said.
The parks’ geysers and springs are acidic because they are fed by thermal water deep underground that picks up sulfuric acid as it rises to the surface. The sulfuric acid is produced by microorganisms that break down hydrogen sulfide in rocks and soil.
Scott’s sister was recording on her cell phone when he fell in, but the park service won’t release the video.
Veress stressed the importance for park visitors to obey all warning signs.
“Because (Yellowstone) is wild and it hasn’t been overly altered by people to make things a whole lot safer, it’s got dangers,” he said. “And a place like Yellowstone, which is set aside because of the incredible geothermal resources that are here, all the more so.”
