Dear TAF, I desperately need your help. This morning, I woke up in a bathtub full of ice with both my kidney’s missing. Should I go to the hospital? And more important, can I have a couple of beers before I go, since hospitals make me nervous. Kidneyless in Knoxville ---

Dear Frumpy; If you really want to get yourself all hot and bothered, I can’t think of anything sexier than having your man dress up as Michael Jackson, including a Michael Jackson mask. That Diana Ross-cum-Tin Man face will melt any girl’s heart. For the full effect, dress yourself up as Macaulay Culkin. > [@](#): > > Dear TAF > > i have all these exams coming up in a couple of weeks, and i’m way behind in the study. > > but all my favourite shows are on tonight, should i watch them? > > (Asked by irishgirl) Dear irishgirl; Well, DUH! Remember, you can always re-enroll in school. But you’ll never have the chance again to see if Evan picks Zora or Sarah. School will be there next year; Paul the Butler comes but once in a lifetime. > [@](#): > > Dear TAF, > > Last night I dreamt that I was turned into a robot and so I went to the police to find out who stole my body.

Quaff a few beers first. However, when you drive to the hospital, don’t flash your lights at any car you see with its lights off - street gangs initiate new members by having them kill people who flash their lights! And don’t call an ambulance with a payphone; they put AIDS-infected needles in the coin return slots you know. > [@](#): > > Dear TAF: > > My boss is an idiot. Do you think I should tell her? Dear twickster47; Absolutely. Remember, all bosses like getting frank, honest feedback about their personal shortcomings. If you tell your boss she is an idiot I assure you she will put lots of effort into correcting her shortcomings. The more frank you are the better she’ll like it. In fact, dress it up a little. Tell her that she’s an idiot, that she has terrible body odor, and that she was adopted because her real parents hated her. Promotions and bonuses will soon be yours! ---

I followed your instructions and had McDonald’s for lunch. It wasn’t very terrible, only slightly. My fries were hot and they actually got my order right! (Special order, ketchup only) Not only that, but I was not subjected to an extensive wait or rude behavior by the employees. I think I would have been worse off at Taco Bell. I fear the quality of your terrible advice is declining. Regards, Jet ---

**Disclaimer: The Terrible Advice Fairy’s advice is intentionally terrible and meant in jest. If you follow the Terrible Advice Fairy’s advice you will end up dead, in prison, or living in a cardboard box eating garbage in the cold. Also, the Terrible Advice Fairy will not always answer all questions, since some of them are too damned strange to figure out a coherent and terrible answer for.** > [@](#): > > Dear Terrible Advice Fairy, > > I’ve been a public school teacher for three years now, but it’s terribly stressful work, and I don’t get along with the boss as well as I’d like. How can I best deal with the difficulties of my job? Dear Fisherqueen, That’s very noble work, but yes, it can be very stressful. I think what you need is something to take your mind off your job, something to help you relax… and what’s better for that than a little ROMANCE? Look around you! Plenty of impressionable young minds and bodies ready to be initiated into the world of love. Start an affair with a student; it’s sure to be relaxing and long as nobody finds out about it! > [@](#): > > Dear TAF, > > I’m designing a web page, and I’m using FrontPage because my coding isn’t too good.

Dear Terrible Advice Fairy, I’m unemployed. I really should be looking for a job, but the thing is, I don’t want to. I’d rather sit around all day playing War of the Monsters on Playstation, surfing the SDMB, and drinking enormous quantities of beer. My question is, should I wait until after 5 PM before getting into the bourbon? —Growing Out, nut Not Up in Portland. ---
