We bear the world and we make it... There was never a great man who had not a great mother - it is hardly an exaggeration.

Dear Abby,
I have never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.
The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with 'the girls' a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, just some friends from work, you don't know them.
I try to stay awake and watch for her when she comes home, but I usually fall asleep.
Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just did not want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to finally check on her around midnight, I hid in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls."
When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.
It was at that moment, crouching behind my golf clubs, that I noticed a hairline crack where the grip meets the graphite shaft on my Taylor Made 460 driver.
Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the PGA Superstore?
Signed...
Concerned Golfer

Good morning everyboomie.
HO HO HO! Imma sooooo hoppy.
Just for the fun of it I'm going to call work and tell them I'm not coming in today.
I'm sure they'll say no problem, just don't be late tomorrow.
Sometimes my humor gets lost in translation.
I really shouldn't say that though, when you consider I'm talking to a manager.
They are all born without a sense of humor.
I don't know how they function at all.
Many of them are also born without a spine.
Speaking of missing bones, my legs are feeling all wobbly. I'd better get to bed.
It takes me a while to crawl all the way back to my room.
Have a happy day everyone.
joe
