"Dear Abby"

The original Dear Abby has passed away. Pauline Friedman Phillips, aka Abigail Van Buren, died today at the age of 94.  While not an avid reader, I would often get a kick out of some of her letters and responses. The gal had a pretty sharp sense of humor. Here are some funny ones I found…

1918 - 2013

DEAR ABBY:
Are birth control pills deductible?

KAY
DEAR KAY: Only if they don't work.


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.


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 IN CAL.

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've been going steady with this man for six years. We see each other every night. He says he loves me, and I know I love him, but he never mentions marriage. Do you think he's going out with me just for what he can get?

GERTIE

DEAR GERTIE: I don't know. What's he getting?


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:
When you are being introduced, is it all right to say, "I've heard a lot about you"?

RITA


DEAR RITA: It depends on what you've heard.


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.

Even Dear Abby'd say the same!
