Dear Diver,
I was recently at a zoo and the great ape house bummed me out. I watched as scores of morons (humans) made faces at this angry looking gorilla behind thick glass. I thought "this gorilla wants to commit suicide it's so freaking depressed." I thought the humans making faceswere probably dumber than the gorilla. Do you agree? Marla
Marla,
It seems as though the key premise of a zoo is to harass the animals. Sure there are a few non-morons, such as yourself, who go to enjoy the wildlife. It's to be expected at a place geared to families and especially little kids that there will be some unruly patrons. Rather than being upset about the harassment, you should take a proactive approach. Write your local congressman and suggest that devices be installed to allow the gorillas the ability to get even. Ask that a button be installed on the gorilla's side of the glass that when pressed makes a sound equally as annoying that the one caused by the morons. Yours in cagedom, Divers
Diver,
My wife wants me to go sky diving for our 25th wedding anniversary. This scares the hell out of me. But I'm afraid if I don't do it, she'll think I don't want to do anything special for our anniversary. That's not the case, I just don't want to sky dive. What do you recommend? Go through with it, or find something else (and safer) to do.
Jim Jim,
Buck up! Going sky diving is an awesome opportunity and you should feel lucky that you have a wife that is adventurous enough to plan this. If you are worried about your blood pressure , plan a trip to the spa after, followed by a nice dinner. Don't forget to pull the rip-cord,
Divers

Diver,
Like you, I work in the food industry. I know
it's wrong but every time a customer is rude, I feel like
spitting in his or her food. Just last night a teen-ager,
after ordering his pizza, remarked "get on that, pizza
boy." Well, guess what he got in his pizza? Is this wrong?
What can I do to either calm myself or make customers nicer?

Cookie,
Yes, it is totally wrong and disgusting. Maybe next time
you should tell him it will be ready as soon as possible
and take your sweet time. Remember, you only have to deal
with him for a few minutes. If you really feel the need
for revenge you could put some hot sauce on his pizza.

Dear Diver,
I just found out the man I've been dating for
the last nine months is married (separated) with kids!
I dumped a great guy for him, and then we moved to a ski
location farther West together. My suspicions began a few
months ago, and when I confronted him he said they were "cousins." They
were wife and kids! I feel like such a sucker.
Disgruntled, dismayed and disappointed in Durango
Hey Triple D,
Go back to that great guy from nine months ago and in nine
months introduce your "cousins" to the idiot. Maybe work
on the whole getting to know you bit in the first couple
weeks.
Go get 'em, Divers Chesleigh and Heather
