I was curious, so I looked it up in the picture dictionary
a s s 1 (ās)
n. pl. ass·es (ās'ĭz)
1.Any of several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, resembling and closely related to the horses but having a smaller build and longer ears, and including the domesticated donkey.
2.A vain, self-important, silly, or aggressively stupid person. A bore, imbecile, nitwit or jerk.
[Middle English asse, from Old English assa, perhaps of Celtic origin, ultimately from Latin asinus.]
Now I ask you, who else are they going to send those letters to???
