Remember?Dear Abby??
Dear Abby visited the homes (via the newspaper and online) starting in 1956. Founded by Pauline Phillips, she took on the pen name Abigail Van Buren and began giving sometimes controversial, many times helpful, and oftentimes hilarious relationship advice for both men and women.
Phillips passed on the column to her daughter, Jeanne Phillips, in 2000, and it continues to be a mainstay in American life.

Dear Abby: My wife sleeps in the raw. Then she showers, brushes her teeth and fixes our breakfast ? still in the buff.

But tell her to put on an apron when she?s frying bacon.

Dear Abby: I have been married for exactly one month: The other night I discovered that my wife uses mayonnaise on her hair before she goes to bed. She has the preposterous idea that it makes her hair grow faster. She claims that lots of women use it. Abby, please help me as I don?t care to smell mayonnaise at night.Response: There are hair conditioners on the market that are more effective and smell better. Tell your wife that when you go to bed with a tomato, you prefer to do it without the mayonnaise.
