TEXT: Dearest Abby:
I hear you might leave the military. If so, perhaps you could become a lingerie model! I’ve got some underwear you can model. (Only slightly used.) And God knows I’d hire you—at least for an evening! Maybe two if you’re into latex!
—Fruit of the Loom
Dear Fruit:
Thanks for the offer, but I might become anactress. With my talent and special ability* I’m sure I’d be in demand!
—Abby

ABBY: Duke, if you don’t already have a Duchess, can I apply for the position?
JOHN WAYNE: Just one position? I know lots! Let’s go for several!
TEXT: Dearest Abby:
What are you dressing up as for Halloween? Something sexy and fabulous I bet!

Dearest Stalker:
You bet I am! I’m going as myself! What could be sexier and more fabulous than that?

“No. See. My name is actually Murdock Ranch. And when I say you can always come ride for the Murdock Ranch I mean…you know what. Never mind. It’s not sexy if I have to explain it.”
Happy Marion Robinson Morrison Day everyone!
