Since when is Tom in Detroit?
The last letter Carolyn Hax answers today is so funny and appropriate that I’m going to reprint it here just so it doesn’t get lost in their archives.
Dear Carolyn:
My wife is really short. People sometimes meet her, then pull me aside to say, “Wow, your wife is really short.” How should I respond to that?
Detroit
“Shhh — we haven’t told her yet.”
“I know. I insisted.”
“True, but only when she’s wearing heels.”
“What? I can’t hear you, my wife is too short.”
And there’s always “Thanks!” or a good one I just heard: “How should I respond to that?”

You forgot “Yeah, I married her for that, the flat head and the big ears.”
