Dear Winifred; Oct. 30

Advice (not good!) column!

   Warning, advice given is NOT politically correct!

  "Dear Winifred, I think I went to school with you.   Did you used to go to --------- High School, in -------?  Imagine my surprise when I was looking through my free copy of Ink Wanderings Monthly Newspaper's want ads for a bumper hitch that'll fit a '77 Vega, and I saw your picture.  You haven't changed much from high school; except all the wrinkles.  You've got that 'blow me, world!' expression on your face, and the dangling cigarette; I'd know you anywhere.  Of course, I knew you as Winifred ----- back then.  We should get together and reminisce about the old days.   Signed, An Old Pal"

 

     "Dear Old Pal, I removed your name and what school we both went to, because that's the stupidest move I've seen all day.  Granted, the day is still young, so maybe someone else will take The Stupidest Comment All Day award, but I would tend to doubt it.  Listing your real name and what high school we both went to?  What, did you go on to major in Duh, 101 in college?  Truth be told, I never liked you in school; you were one of those goody-two-shoes that I did my best to avoid.  You calling my expression a 'blow me, world!" expression would sum up perfectly my response to your lame-a*s comment, only substitute your name for 'world!" and you're all set.  Signed Winifred."

Why would anybody want to get in touch with Winifred?

She's the kind of person I'd do my best to forget...

[Michael Stevens]

Good point! I don't know why either---oh, yes I do, because I keep making them up!

[A. H. Pinley]

Nice... I avoid those I went to school with at all cost, except for one person. Nothing wrong with the word usage.

Thanks A.H.!
