Dear Diver,

What is the best way to prepare for fatherhood, both mentally and financially? Is another job and perhaps Valium the answer?

– Charles McGee,

Charles,

Step one: Shop around for the best offers from Middle Eastern countries, especially Iraq. After we finish bombing them to the Stone Age, most of the population will need babies.

Use the Valium mixed with a great deal of liquor to keep your wife sedated until you can think of a good lie. Any damage done by the booze and pills won’t be your problem.

– Good luck,

Diver



Diver,

Why do people within various subcultures that express “non-conformity” all look, dress and, for the most part, act alike?

– Wondering,

Jack

Jack,

Nonconformity is code for lazy, drunk and messed-up people who don’t have time for bathing, laundry or brushing their teeth. Have fun on tour, bro.

Diver,

I met a woman months ago. She has a kid from a previous marriage. Me and this kid have kind of bonded, but the kid’s mother is starting to get on my nerves. Sooo, do I put up with her for the sake of the kid or what?

– Confused


Dear Confused,

Drop them both. They are just cramping your style. And the kid has already been abandoned by his real father, so one more abandonment won’t matter that much.

– Thanks,

Diver

Dear Diver,

There are some of these reality shows on TV that are OK, but lately some of the ideas they come up with are really lame. It doesn’t seem to matter though, since they are getting viewers. Here’s my question.

Apart from maybe something like “puking celebrities,” is there anything America won’t watch?

– Gina

Gina,

I doubt that there are any shows that this population won’t watch, even celebrities puking. However, if it were me, I’d do something like farting or puking to make it even funnier.

– Happy partying,

Diver
