Aye Carumba, something that rivals a Bart Simpson phone call to Moe's Tavern.
Quicker than you could say Cowabunga dude, Universal Press Syndicate has pulled next Monday's planned Dear Abby column. Abby apparently hoodwinked by a palgiaristic letter writer, with a penchant for Simpson scripts. Abby had composed a thoughtful reply to a troubled letter writer seeking advice, identified as "Stuck in a triangle".
Stuck had composed a plaintive cry for understanding, explaining how her boorish husband of 10 years treated her and her three children in a "rude, greedy, selfish and inconsiderate way". Going so far as to give her a bowling ball for a birthday present, the holes drilled to fit his fingers, his name engraved into the ball.
"Stuck", exposed her soul to Abby, advising how she took the ball to a local bowling alley and promptly fell in love with the bowling instructor, Franco. Now she doesn't know what to do, where to turn, Abby was asked for her assistance.
To which the ever helpful Abby replied, "admit your unfaithfulness, perhaps the man who originally bowled you over will forgive". Abby hit send, the column was distributed to newspapers over North America. At which point a sharp eyed reporter and obvious Simpson's fan, found some rather blatant similarities to the bowling instructor episode #109 of the The Simpsons. Officials At United did some comparison reading and pulled the column.
Somewhere in Springfield, in Edna Krabappels classroom is the sound of chalk on a chalkboard.
"I will not write fake letters to Dear Abby", "I will not write fake letters to Dear Abby", I will not write fake letters to Dear Abby". And then a phone will ring at Moe's tavern......................
