Ask Dr. Know-It-All

Rate: 43 Flag

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: After the announcement of Osama bin Laden’s death, I issued a statement just as the other prominent Republicans did.  I thanked the military, the Navy SEAL unit and President Bush.  However, some people said my statement was ungracious. Why would they say that? Mama Grizzly, Wasilla, AK.

    

Dear Mama Grizzly: Didn’t you forget to mention someone by name?  Black guy?  Kind of tall and slim?

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: President Obama is a wimp. He has no backbone and has no commitment to fighting the war on terror. He’s even afraid to be in the same room with me. And when’s he going to release his long-form birth certificate? Have you seen the polls? I lead the GOP with 26%.  Isn’t it time America had a strong leader like me?  The Donald, New York, NY.

    

Dear Donald: Oops, I didn’t mean to choose letters with an April postmark. My bad.

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I’m tired of Donald Trump getting the attention for crazy statements. That’s my gig.  So I’m going to reclaim my crown: Obama’s ground Zero visit was shameless! The nerve of him holding a low-key wreath-laying ceremony and meeting the 9/11 families after killing the man who killed their spouses! And his victory lap was obscene. Imagine making himself and his aides available for interviews about the biggest news story in months. Why couldn't he show the restraint of President Bush, who merely flew in on a fighter jet to deliver a speech in front of a "Mission Accomplished" sign?  So what do you think, Doc, do I still have it?  Glenn B, Paranoiaville.

    

Dear Glenn B: You’ve still got it. You’re undoubtedly the King of the Crazies. Take good care of that crown.

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? last week. When I was asked a question about which planet was named after a Greek god, I said, “Jupiter is Roman, I believe. I can’t even put a finger on Uranus.” Meredith Vieira started roaring with laughter, and when I realized what I’d said, I was thoroughly embarrassed. There’s no chance that this will go viral, is there? Without a Lifeline, TV Land.

    

Dear Without a Lifeline: Not if I can help it. (See below.) By the way, what’s the strangest place you ever made whoopee?

 

 

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: Tell Miss Uranus above that her video isn’t half as funny as mine, where I trip over my saggy pants and fall flat on my face while trying to flee a convenience store I’d just robbed. Am I right?  Droopy Drawers, Lake Wales, FL.

    

Dear Droopy: I think you’re absolutely right. PS: nice boxers.

 

>

 

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: Speaking of pants, do these jeans make my ass look fat?  Afraid to Look in a Mirror, Des Moines, IA.

   

Dear Afraid: No. Your ass makes your ass look fat.

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I coach a pro basketball team on the Left Coast. I’m retiring after this season. I think my chances of finishing with another championship are excellent. At the very least, my team will go out with dignity.  What do you think?  The Zen Master, La-La Land.

   

Dear Zen Master: Damn, another one with an April postmark.

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I’m currently in a relationship with a two-time Oscar-winning actor twice my age. However, I’m having buyer’s remorse.  When I started this love affair, I spurned a blogger with the initials C.C. who had a deep affection for me and I now realize that he’s the only man for me.  I’m afraid to approach him, though, because he might still be so heartbroken that he will lash out at me.  What do you think I should do?  ScarJo, Hollywood, CA.

    

Dear ScarJo: I believe it was Shakespeare – or was it Jennifer Aniston? - who said ‘tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. You don’t want to spend the rest of your life obsessed with “what ifs?”  I’m quite sure that I – I mean, he – will be able to see past … Wait, my cell phone is buzzing.  Oh, Pippa Middleton is sexting me again! Let me answer her first:  O baby U R so hot. Will send U pix of my prince willie.  C U 2morrow.  xoxoxo.  OK, what was I talking about?  Ah, I forget, so I’ll just move on to the next question.

   

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I’ve been in the news a lot in recent years for a few personal problems that went public. I just starred in my first movie in several years and I am getting very good reviews for my performance.  Now that everyone has let bygones be bygones, should I buy a new tuxedo for my Oscar acceptance speech?  Malibu Mel, L.A.

    

Dear Malibu Mel: I wouldn’t circle that day on your calendar just yet.

    

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I have been trying to post a comment on your blog all day but I can’t seem to stay connected for more than five minutes. What is the problem? Ed I Tor, OS Village.

        

Dear Ed: It helps if you pay the electric bill.  For the last several months.

       

Dear Dr. Know-It-All: I was promised 72 virgins when I reached paradise.  However, when I arrived, I was presented with 72 computer nerds, Trekkies and Xbox gamers. What’s up with that? And how am I supposed to do this without my herbal Viagra?  PS: Death to America! Osama B, the Hereafter.

       

Dear Osama B: It sounds like you didn’t read the fine print, my man.

This was so funny Cranky and I am pleased to announce that others are finally catching on to what Trump is really all about.. I believe he tanked yesterday.
Rated with hugs
Tres amusant. As M. Chariot might say.
Cranky again blurs the line between truth and fiction.
Come on, Cranky, don't leave poor Scarlet hanging! Can't you see her heart is breaking?
Clever post Cranky. As for the 72 virgins, does it specify in the Koran that they have to be human?
You are a funny man.~r
thank you, thank you very much.
I doubt anyone will ever have the "crazy" like Glenn Beck. If I ever rob a convenience store, I'll be sure to wear my skinny jeans, And oops, OBL nowhere was it stipulated those virgins would be cute or female! =o)

Very funny. I love how the Uranus girl realized what she'd said and laughed at herself, too. Still, you're right - it won't save her. And forsaking ScarJo for Pippa? A loss for voluptuous girls today....
I needed that laugh. Thanks
I'm glad I read this at noon rather than while I was still drinking coffee. Otherwise I would have had to clean the screen and keyboard from the "ASNR" (acute spontaneous nasal reflex).
Heehee. Tell Osama we could fill up Yankee Stadium and have trouble finding 72 virgins!

:-) / R
You made my afternoon!. My evening! My day!

Dear Mr. Know- It- All,
What are todays lottery numbers?
Gazing into my crystal ball, I see a bright past for Dr Know It All
You are a clever cuss!
**Giggle** I LOVED this! I ran for a political office once, and once was enough. City council was tough, I could only imagine something like President or Senator.
Is that beer still there?
Following up on Blumenthal's question, is there anything in the Koran that says the virgins have to be female?
I suggest you start an OS first: a full-time advice column. You know,

Dear Cranky
Ah, that pesky fine print. Even criminal masterminds get snagged on that old trick.
Dear Mr. Know It All,

What do virgins get when they reach Paradise? I hope not a rendezvous with a suicide bomber. Could make me rethink my virginal maintanence plans.
DEAR CRANKY,

I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH MY NIGHTLY NEWS REPORTER. HE SEEMS TO WINK AT ME NIGHTLY WHEN HE'S ON THE TV. COULD THIS BE THE SIGN THAT IT'S TIME TO BUY STOCK IN PAPER TOWEL COMPANIES?

THANK YOU,

YOUR BIGGEST FAN,

JANET SOLIDO, FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA.

:P
Dear Dr. Know-It-All:
I am sick and tired of being harassed by lawyers, policemen, reporters, and photographers for accidentally putting one lousy necklace in my pocket and exiting the store without paying. When are people going to give me credit for the good things I do?
LiLo in LA
I'm with greenheron, it seems needlessly cruel to require virgins of any kind to pay such a price. This seems to be advising the virgins to all go out and 'get some' as a prophylactic against the after life.

Now, I'm going to eat a small sack of tacos.
Heavy chuckling and re-reading and re-rating if I could
Rated with a chuckle!
i think this could be classified as another winner.

Great stuff for us insomniac late night readers -- thanks!
Hil A. Rious. Leave Pippa alone.
I'm feeling sorry for ScarJo. . . . But not for me: laughed too much for that.
THAT is why the U. planet was never the subject of a question at the Disney Theme Park version of Millionaire. And there were no questions about the blue-footed booby or Lake Titicaca either. I am uniquely qualified to say that.
Enjoyed it all Cranky...

Wait, wait, wait... The King of the Crazies gets a crown now? I KNEW I should have held on to that title...
