Dear Winifred; Jan. 27

Advice (NOT good!) column

 

Warning; advice given is NOT politically correct!

 

     "Dear Winifred, I recently was treated rather shabbily by the cashier at my local mini market.  My wife and I were returning from an evening of shopping and stopped at the mini market around the corner from our house for some beer to take home, and I was asked for my ID.  As I am 60 years old and not being in a good mood after a horrible day at work, I asked the cashier why.  He gave me a dirty look and replied, and I quote, "Look pal, I don't need your (insert word)."  When I told him to watch his language in front of my wife, then asked him to please explain what he meant, he responded with venom, "You know, (insert word), like what your wife makes every night!"  My wife got upset, and I got angry.  We immediately left, without the beer.  Do you think I handled the situation correctly?"  Signed Defensive."

 

 

     "Dear 'Defensive', if you want my honest opinion, no.  If you want my politically correct response, then yes, you showed remarkable restraint in not reaming that clown/dong in front of your wife.  What I would have done differently is go home, drop off the wife, make up some excuse for why you need to leave again, go back to the store, march up to the guy with a single tall-boy beer (hardily shaken) you grabbed out of the cooler and open it right in that b*****d/loser's face.  Of course then you'd have the problem of him beating the s**t out of you, but that's what running away quickly is for.  You'll quickly get over the shame of pussing out and running, which will soon be replaced by the lovely image of that son of a b***h wearing a foam sombrero!  Winifred."

Winifred gave good advice this time. Although a rational person would just have gone along with the clerk, I suppose...

Yeah, you're probably right, but then they wouldn't have felt the need to write in to Winifred and get her sage advice!
