Wigg,
I’m devoid of body hair. How do you get such a masculine fro in your nether regions? Have you ever considered selling your pubes to Locks of Love?

Dear Lee,

I did not steal colette’s glasses she let me wear them once and took a picture then sent me the picture. To the best of my knowledge she is still in possession of the sunglasses.

Dear Wig

Why did you steal Joe’s GF’s glasses?

actually better yet, I have my own question:

Dear Wig,
I work for an adventure camp, in which I pretty much just stand in the Gunks every other week & belay kids…for hours a day, days a week. How do I stop myself from, how can I say this? What can I do to stop myself from wanting to dive head first off a cliff? THANKS!

I like AB’s second idea…pretty sure that’d keep ANYONE awake.

I suggest that Kevin just coil the rope around Ms. Dylan. Then, Ms. Dylan can just go to sleep on the ground. When Kevin needs slack, he can just tug hard on the rope, and Ms. Dylan will turn over once, giving out the perfect amount of slack.

That’s the belay method I employ when I go climbing with babies and it works.

The other option is to place a noose around Ms. Dylan’s neck. People tend not to go to sleep when they’re afraid of being hung.

I’m Andrew Bisharat, and I approve these belay techniques.

Awesome advice! Ms.Dylan should stick to bouldering… or maybe just, like, knitting or something?

I think the answer is in Ms. Dyan’s own letter. A properly selected alpine climb shoud be cold enough to prevent even a hint of drowsiness.
