Dear Ann Landers,
have been engaged to Burt for so many years I'm ashamed to tell you the number. We were supposed to get married three months ago. I had my dress bought and my hair fixed. Then his horse got sick. I am still single. Burt spends every spare minute at the barn. He has broken dozens of dates with me because his horse didn't look right. He'd rather sit around with the vet and worry about the horse than be with me. I like horses, but I like people better. I am beginning to think Burt is different. He eats, dreams, and thinks horses. He even smells like a horse most of the time. Any advice?-Disgusted

Dear Disgusted,
It appears that you have been left at the post, dearie. If you are running so poorly before marriage, I'd say your chances for getting any attention whatever after marriage are about 100 to 1-against. As for Burt, I suggest he take a saliva test.
