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?
