Dear Abby,
I hope you can help me. I have a pale ale riding on this. Ok – first question: why can’t people ask advice columnists a question without having to offer a reason for the question? You know like -“my sister and I are betting on this. Loser donates a kidney!” Or like those magazine stories that begin with “I never thought it would happen to me” and you know it didn’t actually happen to him because if it did, he wouldn’t be sitting down writing expletives to a magazine. He couldn’t see to type. The smile on his face would push his cheeks up his head and make his eyes squint.
Anyway – a woman told me that women are more loyal to each other than they are to a man. You know that whole “sisterhood is powerful” thing. She said that a woman will discuss everything with her friend and doesn’t consider that breaking a confidence. Is this true and for the love of the good God – what’s she been saying about me? I have blackmail money riding on this!
Signed,
I didn’t do it, it’s damn lie!
Dear I didn’t do it, it’s a damn lie,
Just accept the fact that you’re absolutely naked on every level around all the women in your friend’s life. They know things about you that you’re not even aware of. That’s how far it goes…
