Dear Aardvark
There's a Dear Abby ripoff called "Dear Annie." I look forward to Dear Angler and Dear A-Train, which should both be coming soon.I saw this headline today:
Dear Annie: Our friend is deep in debt, asked us for money and hasn’t told her husband. What should we do?
Is this really a situation where we need to bring in Annie? Shouldn't we be saving her Yoda-like wisdom for more complex matters? When I try to answer questions, I always use the Run Like Hell threshold. Before I spend any length of time trying to evaluate a situation, I ask myself if the question is above or below that threshold.
If it's below, I know exactly what to do.
I feel like in this particular situation, the situation is obviously below that bar.
Actually, I could use that concept to start my own advice column.
Dear sir or madam,
In answer to your question, run like hell.
Dear sir or madam,
In answer to your question, run like hell.
