John Satan was a lovely man. Everyday he went about his day with a smile on his face and a pleasant word for all he met on his way. He walked to work with a spring in his step and a whistle between his lips. He was the nicest man you could hope to meet on a sunny summer day. John Satan was overcompensating though, he had to.
Socially speaking, John Satan never seemed to get back what he put in. As he served across a compliment and a festive wink, he was returned a foul insult and a single finger salute. No matter how nice John Satan was, no matter how much he dedicated himself to making everyone's day that little bit brighter, no-one could get past his surname. It didn't matter that he was no relation to his most famous namesake, as far as everyone else was concerned; a Satan is a Satan is a Satan.

John Satan became horribly depressed but found support on an Internet chat room set up in 2003 by a man from Chicago Illinois called Frank Yorkshireripper specifically for people who faced the same prejudices. It was here that John Satan first met Mary Chairmanmao. They exchanged e-mails, phone calls and eventually met. A fledgling friendship that was originally based on a common abnormality, soon flourished into a passionate love affair that celebrated everything that made these two people unique. Within months they were married and within a year they were pregnant. Tomorrow their son, Brian Chairmanmao-Satan, begins school.
Let's wish him all the very best.
