Strange Footnotes Request

[Art Campbell]

My thought is that you could fake it, but whether you faked it or not,
it would make the book look like the dog had been sick. I think your
time would be better spent using the Chicago Manual of Style to help
them produce a book that looked professional rather than a mistake.

Cheers,
Art
