'Newfound celebrity status' for joke writer

Here's a note from a reader who contributed a Punchline joke -- a good reminder that readers contribute most of the jokes we run in that daily feature.

Post-Bulletin staff-
 
Thanks for making my day!
This story was inspired by the absence of fireflies this past Saturday nite in the
midst of Harmony's 8 hour power outage: 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM. You need to
know the local supply of Tuesday's Post-Bulletins sold out early
today before I had a chance to read my successful submission and run to the
local vendors.

Thanks again for contributing to my newfound celebrity status,
despite editing out the attribution to local Amish farmer, which seemed to be
relevant in this tourist community prospered by these local gems.
