Dear Diver,
Why is it that all bathroom stall doors in public restrooms swing in toward the toilet? I'm a thin girl and even I
have trouble getting out the door (without pressing my legs against pubic hair-infested toilets). I feel for large
women and men who must struggle to get out the door.
- Sincerely, Skinny girl struggling
in an even skinnier stall
P.S. I already know that they were designed by a man (or at least installed by one).
Dear Skin and Bones,
You know, I've always wondered what idiot came up with the idea to make stalls really small and then make it so that
the door opens toward you. Maybe they installed the door backwards for the fun of it. This is how you can get out of
this tight situation without pressing your legs against the pubic hair-infested toilet: If you squeeze yourself
beside the toilet and open the doorso that you aren't standing right in front of the door, that gives you more room.
Or try standing on the toilet and leaning back while you open the door. Let me know if these work for you. Betteryet,
you can always use the handicapped stall ... now that gives you a lot more room!
- Good luck getting out,
Diver
Dear Diver,
The other night, my girlfriend and I were "goin' at it" when my cell phone rang. I could see on the caller ID that it
was my mom. I did not answer the phone or anything, but now I can't get the image of my mom out of my head when my
girlfriend wants to have sex. What can I do to alleviate this situation?

Dear Oedipus,
This situation with your mom calling happens to a lot of individuals, but what I don't understand is why you would
have an image of your mom in your head? I could understand being turned off for just a moment while your mom is
calling you during a sexual escapade, but I wouldn't think anymore about it. What can you do to alleviate this
situation? Go speak with a psychiatrist about this mishap or buy a Playboy and pretend it was one of those hot naked
women calling you.
- Visions of mom,
Diver
Dear Diver,
With tax season coming up, I am wondering whether or not I can claim my dog as a tax deduction. He seems very
dependent on me the majority of the time.

Walkies, Walkies, Walkies,
As a dog owner, I understand your concern, but if we could claim our dogs then we could claim almost anything. That
would mean cats, fish, birds, and even our houseplants. All of these things depend on us for nourishment. So what I'm
saying is that we have to draw the line somewhere, right?

Dear Diver,
Why do women in local bars treat me like a celebrity when I'm buying them drinks but then act like I've got
hantavirus the moment their date shows up?
- Signed,
Freebie Jeebies
Dear Mr. Jeebies,
Why in the world do you think they treat you like a celebrity? Son, use that common sense the good Lord gave you! Of
course the ladies love it when they receive a free drink or drinks. What, you think they're going to give you a high
five and walk away? Not so much. Your tab is going to keep on getting bigger and the keg is going tobecome empty
before you can ask, "Can I buy you another drink?" Of course you're going to have hantavirus when their date shows
up, hence the word DATE. You're only good to them until their date shows up. So do you understand what I'm getting
at? You can buy drinks for the ladies but limit the drinks. Other than that, you're on your own. Always know that you
can buy me a drink or two ... or three.
- The drink's on you,
Diver
