Our loyal reader and frequent contributor Honkin de Spain has guest-
                                     written this week's Dear Eleanor column:

Dear Honkin:
                            I have been married to my husband for 10 years,
                            and we’ve been together for 12.   I love this guy,
                            but his hygiene is atrocious.  I admit that he was
                            like this before we married, but I thought I could
                            change  his  habit.  Mistake.  We've  had  endless
                            discussions  about  this,  and he always says he'll
                            get  better.  But he's be worse than ever.  We  just
                            got back from visiting my  children,  and he's not
                            shaved for over a month.  It's  disgusting.   We're
                            not intimate.  He has issues with impotence.  But
                            I refuse to kiss him goodnight with a beard full of
                            food, sneezing and coughing.


                            He actually looks worse  than  a  homeless  person.
                            I'm  at  my  wit's  end.  I don't want to divorce him,
                            but I can't stand this  any  more.  He  only  showers
                            maybe once a week and has gone up to three weeks
                            without a shower.   He's a nice guy in other ways.  I
                            don't know what to do.  It's very disrespectful to the
                            world and to me.
                                                                                           At Wit's End

Dear Witless:
                            The  guy  stinks, won't shave, and looks like a bum?
                            Wake  up  and smell the dirty underwear,  you dumb
                            bitch!   He's sending a message as loud as his stench
                            and as clear as the snot in his beard:   HE  DOESN'T
                            LOVE  YOU!     He's trying to be so disgusting  that
                            you'll throw him out  and  save  him  the  trouble  of
                            leaving on his own.  That way he can play the "Poor
                            me,  look what she did to me!"  card   and  make you
                            the bad guy.  Take  a  picture  of him as you boot him
                            out the door – show it to the divorce judge.

Dear Eleanor:
                           
I know this  sounds  ridiculous,  but covid boredom pushed
                            me to do something:  I catfished someone.  I've always had
                            deep curiosity about what life would be like  if I were more
                            attractive and dating someone besides my current long term
                            heading-toward-marriage guy.

                            I created a fake profile using a photo of someone my age but
                            more conventionally attractive.  I adopted personality traits I
                            always wanted (adventurous, free-spirited, partying) and end-
                            ed up matching someone.   We texted constantly, then moved
                            to phone calls.   We haven't met yet,  after  four  months,  but
                            that isn’t out of the ordinary in these covid times.

                            Eleanor,  we're in love.   We talk nearly all day and deep into
                            the night.  I’ve never felt this way about someone.  But now I
                            feel sick with guilt. I'm definitely emotionally cheating on my
                            long-term partner.  He has no idea because he lives in a differ-
                            ent state and we aren’t traveling to each other right now.  Sec-
                            ond, I know that the person I’ve been talking to will be heart-
                            broken when he finds out I’m not he thought I was.  I know I
                            probably  need  therapy,  but I can’t afford it.  How do I extri-
                            cate myself from this mess? Leaving my partner for this new
                            person is an awful idea, right? What in the world should I do?

                                                                                                        Gone Catfishin'
Dear Catbird:
                            What you mean "partner"?

Dear Eleanor:
                            Our last dog is nearly 18 years old, and I would like to adopt
                            another cat or dog;  but my husband wants to wait at  least  a
                            year with no pets in the house.   I grew up with pets and can't
                            imagine living without one. What to do?
                                                                                                        Animal Lover

LETTERS to the EDITOR
:
Chairman Mal wrote Sun 9/27/20 @10:16 CDT:
That's Gera r d Butler Jen's dating, not Gerald Butler.
OK, our bad.  We never heard of either of them.    – Editor

B Woo wrote Sun 9/27/20 @1010 CDT:
I just saw a sign saying cowhide.  What's the difference
between that and leather?
Most dictionaries define "leather" as  treated  animal  skin  (e.g.,
tanned), and most don't limit it to cattle skin.  Further, "rawhide"
is listed as a synonym of "cowhide," and vice versa.    – Ed.

Publius Leget wrote Sun 927/20 @09:30 CDT:
I read that if Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to  the  Su-
preme Court, it will have 6-3 Catholic majority, not mere-
ly 6-3 anti-abortion (but not the same 6).  Is it time to call
it the Extreme Court?

Presidential election suggestion (a Tabloid Headlines editorial):
We can have two more primaries!  Political  (Trump vs. Biden)
and  celebrity  (Kanye vs. Meghan).   Then  the  election!   But
we recommend that you stay at least six feet away ("social dis-
tance")  from  all  of  them.

Borf 's weekly BONUS:     
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, declared her candidacy for
President of the United States. .  .  . Police were called to a Florida a-
partment where neighbors were yelling "Shoot!"  but it turned out to
be Tampa Bay Lightning hockey fans  yelling to a player in the Stan-
ley Cup finals. . . . The President and the First Lady both tested posi-
tive
– and so did Hope Hicks,  Kellyanne Conway,  Amy Coney Bar-
rett, Chris Christie and the president of the University of Notre Dame.
.  . . "Murder  hornets"  –  a breed of giant Asian hornets that prey on
honey bees  – were being hunted down in the state of Washington.

Dear Eleanor:
Yes, this is your octogenerian bozo again; and it happened
again.   This time I ordered only onion rings going to (and
for after) the medical appointment.  "$3.16,"  the Hardee's
ditz said.  I had exact change, and I gave it.

"Would you  please  pull  over?"  the window delivery ditz
said.  "We don't have hot onion rings yet."

"No!"  I  said.   "I don't have time!   I have to be at the doc-
tor's.  Just give me my money back."

Back  and  forth.  Dumb  cunts!  Finally  I  got  my  money
back,  and  I  left.    On the way home I got my onion rings.
From Burger King, next door to Hardee's.  $2.
Dear Octo:
                      Hubba,  hubba.

HOW TO UNSUBSCRIBE:

      Remember, if you don't want to receive any more of this inane crap,
just hit your "Reply" button and type in the subject line, "GET THESE
TABLOID HEADLINES OUT OF MY LIFE AND FUCK OFF!"

      But remember also, you have to spell and punctuate the message
exactly as it appears above €“ without quotation marks, and without
that redundant "Re: " that appears in so many subject lines €“ or you
will keep getting this shit!  ("Cut and paste" won't work, either.  We
have a special filter to detect that.)
