No matter how smart you think you are, you have to have a place to start from; a name, an address, a neighbourhood, a background, an atmosphere, a point of reference of some sort. All I had was typing on a crumpled yellow page that said, “I do not like you Dr. V. But right now you’re the man for me.” With that I could pin-point the Pacific Ocean, spend a month wading through lists of half a dozen county medical associations and end up with the big round O.

I don't usually get jokes (which has led to some very embarrassing outcomes), but thankfully I got this one. XD Anyway, that was a very clever response, and it's awesome he wrote back.

From what I understand, though I find it a little foggy myself, Mr. Handler was giving us a clue that would lead to the finding of something bigger. Though of course, that part was ripped off. Something along those lines.

I don't know where people see a joke in the note. It was just a very ASOUE way of saying thank you.
