Hello, traveler, and welcome to the April 2006 issue of Defenestration .

This issue is also available in Grape, Cherry, and Tropical Fruit Explosion T flavors, while supplies last.

I would like to share a story with you. The other day, my family and I drove to my grandmother's house for some Easter dinner (which consisted of a ham so marbled with fat that my arteries moaned with delicious agony. I took home leftovers). While on the road, I saw a car with the following license plate:

GETSAVD

Now tell me, honestly, what is your first impression when you see that?

I studied the tag for a bit before realizing that the intended message was "Get Saved," meaning that the occupants of said vehicle were Christian and were trying to have their car do a little "on-the-road" proselytizing. But that just makes it infinitely funnier , because the first thing that I thought of-and probably a bunch of you sick bastards thought of this as well-wasn't "Get Saved," but "Gets A VD."

Anyway.

This month features the work of three poets, five writers of prose, and three artists. There are also columns by your local Defenestration staff members. Also, the links page has been mopped up and scrubbed clean. If you are the owner of an online literary presence and would like to swap links, please let me know at andrew@defenestrationmag.net .
