She never sugarcoated it…and that's why we love her. Sometimes, you've just got to be blunt. While Ann Landers was known for her serious, down-to-earth advice, our girl "Dear Abby" regularly answered with serious sass. And honestly…who could blame her? A few of these questions will leave you scratching your head. Here are X of Abby's best zingers. Please SHARE with your friends if these made you SMILE.
#1: Premature?
Dear Abby: Our son married a girl when he was in the service. They were married in February and she had an 8 1/2-pound baby girl in August. She said the baby was premature. Can an 8 1/2-pound baby be this premature? —Wanting to Know Dear Wanting: The baby was on time. The wedding was late. Forget it.
#2: An unsavory element in the neighborhood…
It reads: Dear Abby: About four months ago, the house across the street was sold to a “father and son” — or so we thought. We later learned it was an older man about 50 and a young fellow about 24. This was a respectable neighborhood before this “odd couple” moved in. They have all sorts of strange-looking company. Men who look like women, women who look like men, blacks, whites, Indians. Yesterday I even saw two nuns go in there!… Abby, these weirdos are wrecking our property values! How can we improve the quality of this once-respectable neighborhood? —Up In Arms
Dear UP: You could move.
#3: The case of the naked newlywed…
Dear Abby: My wife sleeps in the raw. Then she showers, brushes her teeth and fixes our breakfast — still in the buff. We’re newlyweds and there are just the two of us, so I suppose there’s really nothing wrong with it. What do you think? —Ed Dear Ed: It’s O.K. with me. But tell her to put on an apron when she’s frying bacon.
#4. Falsies
Dear Abby: My problem is my husband. He wears false teeth — uppers and lowers — and he thinks it’s real funny to take them out at parties and do a Spanish dance using them as castanets. He thinks he is being the life of the party — but I’m embarrassed to death. Should I keep him away from parties, or should I just tell him that he isn’t funny? Marsha
Dear Marsha: Let him have a good time … I think it’s hysterical.
#5: Typical love advice.
Dear Abby: Is it possible for a man to be in love with two women at the same time? —Jake
Dear Jake: Yes, and also hazardous.
#6. Old Dad being a stickler about monkey business!
#7. Missed connections…
#8. Masculinity
#9. Torn…
You go girl! In loving memory of the unstoppable Pauline Phillips, known affectionately to the nation by her pen name Abigail Van Buren. July 1918 - January 2013.
