Here’s a great idea for white
vans affected by fake abduction story
[…] This is why white van owners had to come up with
something to assure the public that they don’t mean harm. One owner just went straight
to being frank and posted a disclaimer at the back of his van. It was written

Hotheaded Friend Dunks Man's
Toothbrush in Toilet
DEAR ABBY: I have shared a friendship for 40 years
with a woman who is known for having a quick temper. […] She lives with a man
she argues with often, in his small apartment. They struggle financially, and
she recently confided that when they argue, she dunks his toothbrush in the
