She at least fool around a little. One of the major causes for the high divorce rate is that large numbers of normally intelligent women are sleeping (or trying to) while their husbands are attempting one of the above Since I am married to one of these types, I must ask you not to print my name, rank, serial number, city, state or country, or I will be rut off completely. Call me Randy Andy Who Needs More Candy Dear Andy: At first I was chagrined by my simple-mindereply, but I must say it provided me with some of the funniest mail Ive had in a long time Thanks to all who wrote Dear Ann Landers: You referred to a survey recently that showed used car salesmen to be the people in the United States and said if they wanted a better image they should dean up their act. Years ago I was a used car salesman in Los Angeles where they are reputed to be the slickest, but be fair, Ann. Tell John Q. Public (o clean up his act, too. Before he takes the old car in for a trade, "Mr. Straight Shooter cleans the engine until it sparkles. Next, he buys a new brake pedal so it won't show the wear. He then does a fantastic job on the body and puts a new tire in the trunk. Now he's ready for the dealer. When asked about the car, he forgets to mention the accident four years ago when they had to straighten the frame He also says the battery was put in three months ago, when actually it was two wrote, ' Everyone had a terrific time."

Five days before 1 prom time I didnt have a date, so asked a senior if he would take me. He said OK, but Id have to "go all the way." (That was how they put it in those days.)

So I dragged around in We triple-date- d agony half the evening and spent the other half in the powder room with six girls who were also having a rotten time. When our own son asked if he should spend the money to go to his prom, I said it wasnt worth it hut he decided to go anyway. Afterward he said, You were right. Mom. I should have gone bowling. This is to let the girls who don't get asked know that they aren't Total Recall in missing much. Parma, polish-and-wa- Ohio Dear Total: When adults say they wish they were teen-ager- s again I wonder why. Those years are almost always filled with conflict, hurt and pain. Why anyone would want to relive them is beyond me. Dear Ann Landers: Another d Dear Ann Landers: A married female acquaintance of both me and my husband has been giving my husband the come on for five years. He does not encourage her to my knowledge. Her aggressive behavior has been called to my attention by others, so it isn't just my imagination. This woman w'orks in a place of business where my husband is required to check in regularly, so he cannot avoid her entirely. Frankly, I am sick to death of it. Who should tell her to knock it off, my husband or me? (We are equally close to her.) In my opinion it would be more effective coming from him. Keeping My Cool In Cleveland Dear Cool: A woman who goes to a third party and says, I want you to stop flirting with my husband," comes off looking frightened and foolish. Asking your husband to tell , her to lay off is an admission that you feel threatened. If nothing is broke, dear, dont try to fix it.

I have learned a lot in the last six weeks and would now like to ask Ann Landers a question. At least seven out of 10 men who come in here to buv a suit have their wives with them. The wives seem to do all the talking and the guys always buy what their wives like. Does this mean men are getting weaker and women are getting stronger? Do you think womens lib has anything to do with this? I think it's a bad sign myself. Why would a guy let his wife pick out a suit for him? -- J In Philly Dear J: Wives were picking out their husbands' suits long before womens lib was a gleam in Betty Friedans eye. Those guys are in the store because their wives hauled them in. Most men hate to go shopping for clothes and, if their wives didnt drag them in, theyd' look like Skid Row bums.
