Mailbag
You asked for a peek into Tissa's mailbag, and you got it!
Here's a sampling of the good, the bad, and the ugly:
"I saw your show last night and loved it! I'll definitely keep updated on your other
appearances. In particular, I thought your Adam Sandler parody for Ramadan was
hilarious."
- Boston, MA
"You remind me of Margaret Cho."
- Australia
"I think you're great. We're almost the same age and I can relate to not fitting in
where you grew up. I'm a Filipina who grew up in a rural town in Central Louisiana. I
was sure the townfolks were going to burn a cross in our yard (YIKES!)."
- Tampa Bay, FL
"An inspiration to everyone and not just Muslims."
- Canada
"I am honestly disappointed what you as a Muslim has been doing. I am only 17 but I
am disillusioned in a lot of Muslims out there nowadays who seem to be selling their
souls short. May Allah guide you on the right path."
- Australia
"I am a white southern gal who cooks good grits. YOU ARE FABULOUS! I will thank The
Mystery every day for YOU! Please stay alive. You have balls that CLANK!"
- Jackson, MS
"You are an excellent stand-up comedian. Keep up the funny work!"
- Boston, MA
"I just read the Ramadan Song about 5 minutes ago and I am still laughing. Thanks for
the morning pick-me-up."
- Dallas, TX
"I am fifteen years old. I was born in Brazil but raised in Boston. I read about you in
the Boston Sunday Globe Magazine and I love your jokes! I am really happy that you
are doing this."
- Boston, MA
"My dear sister, I personally have no objections to performing or being a great
comedian. It's great. But it is a huge responsibility that you are taking in front of Allah.
You will have a heavy disaster in your book of deeds in the day of judgment."
- Boston, MA
"As an Iranian-American woman, I am so proud of you, you ROCK!"
- Los Angeles, CA
"U R the Coolest. Muslim. Ever."
- Unknown location

They said that about little old me?
