Actual Dear Abby Letters
<![CDATA[<body>]]>
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?
Curious
-----------------------------------------------------------
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 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.
------------------------------------------------------------
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,
I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he
drank until one night he came home sober.
-------------------------------------------------------------
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 but couldn't, and he
finally did it!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
My mother is mean and short-tempered. I 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
My boyfriend is going to be twenty years old next month. I'd
like to give him something nice for his birthday. What do you
think he'd like?
Carol
Dear Carol,
Never mind what he'd like. Give him a tie.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
Our son was married in January. Five months later his wife had
a ten-pound baby girl. They said the baby was premature. Tell
me, can a baby this big be that early?
Wondering
Dear Wondering,
The baby was on time, the wedding was late. Forget it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
I know boys will be boys, but my 'boy' is seventy-three and
he's still chasing women. Any suggestions?
Annie
Dear Annie,
Don't worry. My dog has been chasing cars for years, but if he
ever caught one, he wouldn't know what to do with it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
I have always wanted to have my family history traced, but I
can't afford to spend a lot of money to do it. Any suggestions?
Sam
Dear Sam,
Yes. Run for public office.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
What inspires you most to write?
Ted
Dear Ted,
The Bureau of Internal Revenue.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
I am forty-four years old and I would like to meet a man my age
with no bad habits.
Rose
Dear Rose,
So would I.
--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Abby,
What's the difference between a wife and a mistress?
Bess
Dear Bess,
Night and day.
