Dear Winifred; Oct. 26

Warning; advice given is NOT politically correct!

 

     "Dear Winifred; I'm the editor of a mid-sized newspaper, and I've got a big problem, and I'd love your advice.  I have in my employ the most egotistical, consistently-wrong, obnoxious advice columnist ever.  I'm sure I could go on and on, but you must get the picture by now.  I want to send her packing, but her father owns the paper.  If I sack her, I'll be let go too, and at my age, I don't want to go looking for employment.  What should I do?  Please, help me out; signed, Despero-Editor"

 

     "Dear Despero-Editor, I'd watch what you say; it sounds to me like you have your nuts in a vice, and all Daddy has to do is squeeze a bit harder, and the only living things that might hear your pathetic yelps of unbearable pain would be the neighborhood dogs; yes, they would be that high-pitched.  Might I suggest an act of contrition to show that you were just having a bad day and meant none of it, say, muffins?  I'm sure that the ones with the chocolate chips would show how utterly sorry you are; and it sounds to me like you're the sorriest editor around.  Winifred"

Sounds as if Winifred has way too much influence...not only can she not be fired she gets to have choclolat chip muffins too...

Yep; she gets rewarded for her 'advice'; can you believe it?

I like this. This is funny... I also like your food critic stories as well. I have some suggestions though. I return with them. Good fun piece!
