Audio Equality
Andy,
I have a large television set, and would like to get an appropriate sound system to go along with it. What type do you suggest I go with?
-Matt
What about inappropriate sound systems? What do you have against them? Listen, why don't you take your segregationist sympathies elsewhere, before we have a problem.
-Andy
Look it up
Andy,
I've accrued an enormous amount of late fees due to checking out books from the library and forgetting to return them over time. They've put a hold on my financial status and I'm short on cash right now. I need a quick way to get rid of this debt. What should I do or say?
-Jen
I had to go to the library first to look up what "accrued" means, but even after that, I still really don't have an answer for you. Seriously. Get a job I guess? How much do you actually need books?
-Andy
No spare time
Andy,
I've spent years and years reading the Harry Potter books, and now that I've finally finished the last one, I don't know what else to do with all the spare time I've got. Do you have any suggestions?
-Jon
Spare time is something I just don't have, Jon, so I wouldn't really begin to know how to answer that question. My first guess though, would be for you to not be such a loser. But that's really just a guess.
-Andy
Philly mess-up
Andy,
I was very disappointed in the way that Philadelphia handled the Independence Day celebration this year. The rain stopped us from having our barbecue, as well as the fireworks which only went off after we were in the car driving home. I was thinking of writing a letter, complaining to someone who worked for the city. Who do you think I should send it to?
-Marcie
Fireworks...well, once you've seen fireworks once, you've kind of seen them all, haven't you? I mean, I guess I don't really see what the big deal is. Who says you can't barbecue in the house, you know? As my brother always says, the bathroom is the best place to sit and check the progress of your wiener.
-Andy
To me, from me
Andy,
Last week you sent in your normal number of questions and answers to the editors of The Triangle, but they only printed five of them. They cut down the size of your column, Why is that? Is it because they didn't think you were funny? Or is it because you think they like to make you work a lot more than you have to?
-Andy
Well, Me, I don't really know. It probably has to do with how very attractive we are and the jealousy of The Triangle staff.
