While shaving in the morning I’ve noticed my cat jumping in to the bathtub and licking my bath soap. Irish Spring. She gets quite a buzz off the soap. Will this turn her green? Or worse yet, turn her Irish? :eek:

I want a turn!
Dear Cecil:
I like the Straight Dope. The boards are great, too.

(sorry if that was pointless, but what forum is this? heh)
Neither, but her ass will smell as fresh & clean as a leprechaun’s. 
Dear Cecil,
I wear my Straight Dope t-shirt all over the place and have not observed any correlation in the amount of ignorance I encounter.
Am I doing something wrong?
Mr Bus Guy
PS: Not even if use my Straight Dope coffee mug that morning, nothing seems to work. 
What the hell were you doing that you know what a leprechaun’s butt smell likes? 
Mr Bus Guy: I have had some minor success with the coffee mug. I thought the shirt was too butt ugly to buy or wear in public. 
I"ve got both the mug and the shirt. The mug gives me super powers to moderate the board. !!!
The shirt, which I have worn to dopefest and around Akron, has hardly ever been remarked upon. It’s not truly “butt ugly” but it doesn’t seem to work. It’s truly taking longer than we thought. 
Dear Cecil,
I appreciate your resolve and tenacity in the fight against ignorance. It’s been what; 34 years now? You’ve employed the internet, books, T-Shirts and coffee cups. Excepting the great majority of subscribers, ignorance seems to be holding it’s own, and I believe the time has come for more effective measures.
May I suggest the “Ignoramus Termination Kit?” Rather than fighting ignorance itself, we’d do far better to eliminate (or more directly subjugate) the breeders and harborers of our great enemy ignorance. I’m sure you want results as badly as any of us, and I’m confident your “IT Kit” will be as entertaining as it is effective. I’ll be watching the catalog closely!
Oh, and I really, really need that pony for Christmas this year!
Dear Cecil:
For the last six days, I have been followed, everywhere I go, by the R-101.
The R-101 crashed in 1930.
Can you loan me the SDSAB for use as human shields, for when disaster inevitably occurs?
Well, I found out where they hide that damn Crock O’ Gold™.
But you need a chain-saw & a sump pump…
Dear Cecil,
Lately I’ve had this strange urge to date Hillary Rodham Clinton.
What should I do?
Signed,

P.S No. I’m NEITHER a Democrat nor a Republican
- How hard was that?
Dear Cecil:
What’s up with the friggin’ Cubs?
Signed,
Depressed for yet another winter
That’s an easy one: The same thing as every year for 100 years now.
Dear Cecil:
21 years later, is the downy neck of a live goose still the best way to go?
Y’know, most of these aren’t half as weird as some of the stuff Cecil actually does get in his mailbag.
Dear Cecil,
I bought all the damn books multiple times. Now when do we get a new one?

The phrase “lovable losers”? Note the second half of that.
Dear Cecil:
So, um, when do I get my paycheck?
I once trained a cat to ring the doorbell when he wanted in, but I never could train one to shave in the morning. I salute you.
Dear Cecil,
Why don’t you post more often?
Regards,
Your fans
