I saw this the other day:
Why only women's letters to "Dear Abby" are published...
Dear Abby,
I've never written to you before, but I really need advice. I've suspected
for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs...
phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out
with the girls a lot recently, and when I ask their names she always says,
"Just some friends from work, you don't know them."
I stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down
the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, it seems she has gotten
out of a car round the corner. Maybe she wasn't in a taxi?
Deep down I probably don't want to know the truth, but last night when she
went out I decided to really check on her. I parked my Harley next to the
garage and then hid behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street
when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my Harley, that
I noticed that the valve covers on the engine were leaking a little oil.
Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

Mab, (or another mod) might want to fix the thread title, unless it's been cropped due to length, which seems unlikely as 51 is not a particularly common limit, but I could be wrong.

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

Because it would seem that 51 characters is the limit.
"Why men's letters to "Dear Abby" aren't published." fits !
Great piece, BTW Mab. |

You need to use a smaller font to save space. |

The course of this thread is sort of a mirror of the joke itself. (But you all know that - right?)  |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

I have been guilty of the following:
En route from picking up dinner from the kitchen bench to go to the table/lounge, made a small detour to check on the arrival of an important email/IM/whatever, only to be discovered by my wife sometime later doing some backups / programming / testing.
The funny thing is, I'm not a particularly bad multitasker, I guess some threads just stealthily self destruct once in a while.
