The following are
actual letters that Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby) admitted she was
at a total loss to answer:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a
middle-aged gym teacher, and the other is a social worker in her
mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together, and I've
never seen a man go into their apartment or come out. Do you think
they could be Lebanese?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
What can I do about all the sex, nudity, language and violence on
my VCR?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
I have a man I never could trust. He cheats so much I'm not even
sure this baby I'm carrying is even his.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
I am a twenty-three-year-old liberated woman who has been on the
pill for two years. It's getting expensive, and I think my
boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well
enough to discuss money with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
I suspected that my husband had been fooling around, and when I
confronted him with the evidence he denied everything and said it
would never happen again. Should I believe him?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was
raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now, how do I
get out?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
My forty-year-old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50 an hour
every week for two- and-a-half years. He must be crazy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
Do you think it would be all right if I gave my doctor a little
gift? I tried for years to get pregnant and couldn't, and he did
it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short-tempered. Do you think she is going
through her mental pause?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Abby,
You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to
send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex
years ago and he is a doctor. What now?
