A

Because I'm an adulterer, my town is making me wear the letter A. People constantly stare at it and give me finger, I've had better days. My town is very strict when it comes to adultery, they hate that sin. But they're not doing it to the women, only to the men. I tell people that the A stands for Archie but they don't buy it. I was told that I'd better not remove it but I decided to try it. When I removed the A from my chest, the jerks threw me down a well. When people walked by, they peed on my head when they heard me yell. They helped me get out the well two weeks later and I'd lost 35 pounds. If you're a man, you'd better make sure not to commit adultery in this town. Today, I was informed that I'll have to wear this A for another forty years. If you're a man who lives in this town, you'd better get the hell out of here.
