Utter Outrage!

Dear Reverend Jack,

My two year old announced she was going to play the banjo when she got old enough to do so.

My husband said, "I had higher hopes for you than that."

I know several exemplary human beings who play the banjo, including my father. He also plays the dulcimer.

How should I discipline my husband for uttering such heresy?

Whither 'Manscaping'

Dearest Reverend,

A dear, dear friend of mine recently initiated a conversation about personal grooming habits. I was slightly worried about comments about my breath. But his intentions were far, far different.

He spoke of the practice of manscaping. Though I love this man like a brother, I have no desire to see, let alone picture, his denuded nut sack. I was able to extricate myself from the conversation with grace and aplomb.

But it did get me thinking.

At the next pants-optional social gathering (whist, perhaps), will my pube-fro be deemed unfashionable? Should I straighten my little curly friends with an iron? Have highlights added? Are there current styles I shoud adhere to? Sideburns? A tasteful Van Dyke?

I anxiously await your advice.

Yours,

"Short back and sides"

Whither Salami Violence?

Dear Reverend Jack,

My brother is an idiot. I fantasize about striking him about the head and shoulders with a rubber chicken, or perhaps an oversized salami.

Is this normal?

Whither To Decorate?

Dear Rev. Jack,

Even though it's only December 3, I am disheartened by my lack of progress in the Christmas decorating area.

I put a wreath on my door just so people wouldn't think I was an atheist or something, but I haven't gotten my tree up or my lights out.

Every night, my neighbor's Christmas lights torment me with their cheeriness, as if to say, "We're ready, why not you? We're ready, why not you?" as they blink mockingly at me through the window.

As I see it, I have three options:

1. Get off my ass and decorate.

2. Gain some perspective and relax.

3. Close my curtains at night.

What do you think?
