Dear Ann Landers,
was deeply disappointed in your answer to the woman whose boyfriend enjoyed dressing up in her clothes. You didn't come right out and say the man was a weirdo, but you made it obvious that you considered him mighty odd. My wife and I are happily married, and we have three lovely children. I have been wearing my wife's girdle for several years, and I am not ashamed of it. I wear a girdle because it makes my back feel better and it improves my posture. I also wear nylons under my wool socks because I need something to hold my girdle down. I trust you will print this letter in the interest of fairness. I always thought you were open-minded.-Dallas Golfer
Dear Dallas,
I try to be open-minded, but that doesn't mean I have holes in my head.

But when I read that bit about the nylons, you lost my support completely. A word of advice to you, Old Buddy: Don't let the guys in the locker room get a load of your undies or you're going to have a lot more trouble than you need. I thought my response to the Dallas Golfer would button it all up, but I was wrong. Within the week I received an ava-lanche of letters from virtually every state in the union. Here are some samples:
