Dear Ann Landers,
Comeback Kid: "How was your birthday celebration?" Victim (she has seven seconds but doesn't know it): "Oh, I had a great day. Joe gave me an adorable puppy. He's just 6 weeks old. ... " Comeback Kid: "Fred did the same thing for me two years ago. And that puppy grew into the best and biggest dog we've ever had. We named him Brutus. He's so strong. And smart? You wouldn't believe what I've taught him. Just this morning, I was out looking for the paper ... " And on and on while Victim stands there, her unfinished sentence in shreds, along with her self-esteem. My suggested solution? Suddenly, look at your watch, mutter, "Ohmigosh, I'm late!" and run for the nearest exit. I'm sure those "Comeback Kids" are unaware of how rude they are. Maybe if you tell them, Ann, they will listen. Everyone who reads this knows someone who fits the description.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, I am one of the vast army of actresses. Why do we do it? Because we love our men and don’t want them to feel inadequate. We accept the fact that we have been biologically short-changed by Mother Nature and that it isn’t any-body’s fault No woman ever enjoys sex as much as a man does, and she never will. So we just go on doing our little act. Knowing that our men are satisfied is enough for us. Do you have the guts to print this? ENJOYING NOTHING BUT THE APPLAUSE IN KANSAS CITY
