MINNEAPOLIS, MN-In a shocking turn of events ailing Dear Abby advice columnist Pauline Phillips shelved her customary charm by issuing a final declaration for her readers to "go fuck themselves."

(AP) Minneapolis- In a surprise development, an apparition described by many as the "ghost of Dear Abby" has been visiting dozens of Minneapolis homes giving unwanted advice.

Dear Rocko,
Just call me Sabrina, from Saffron City, Kanto. I have a neighbor who annoys me by leaving pamphlets and Chick tracts at my doors and windows. This neighbor just moved from Westboro, and I don't know if I let my Alakazam use a Pokemon move on that guy because doing it violates my beliefs. I already reported this to the police station, but this still keeps on going. I need advice. Bl...

Dear Robert,
I am a kleptomaniac. My flat is like Aladdin's Cave. I have just come back from town with three lampshades, an electric blanket and a pork pie hat. I can hardly move for contraband. What can I do?

Dear Bonnie Contention,
I married my husband a year ago and he's become a big, fat, lazy slob.
I'm not quite sure how it happened, but I do all the housework, cook all the meals, organise our holidays and nights out, while he does nothing apart from watch TV and drink with mates. Oh, wait! Maybe that's how it happened! Anyway...
He's put on seventeen stone and the fat bastard blames me f...
Dear Sally,
Ever since my visit to the proctologist I have found myself liking the feeling and seeking out ever larger and rougher men. Is there a cure? Failing that, could you tell me where to find some nice big men who know how to treat me rough?

Dear Desperate of Nuneaton,
I'm afraid there is no cure. People like you should be in prison. That's where you'll find the...
Dear Dr Jon, A pensioner drove into the back of me at 2mph in Aldi car park. I've been watching cable telly, and I think I'll sue her, because, mysteriously, my neck's gone a bit stiff nine weeks later. Will you do a report?
No I fucking won't. The least the bunch of Ambulance Chasers you've engaged to make money in your name can do is bother to find a shill themselves.
Dear Dr Jon, Sorry I...
Dear Dr Jon, I have a slight cough and my doctor won't give me antibiotics. For some reason I am obsessed with getting antibiotics, mainly because my mum says I should have them, though neither of us know the difference between a virus and a bacteria. What shall I do?
You should for just one sodding moment try to remember that there are people in hospital whose arms have fallen off due to anti...
Dear Bonnie Contention,
I work in an office with mostly men and have become really friendly with one guy in particular.
We just hit it off straight away and share loads of interests. We have a laugh, too, and our sense of humour is very similar.
Although my husband's never met him he's always niggling at me jealously. He's even threatened to come round to the office and 'have it out'.
Hello again everyone. I have in front of me a letter from a concerned patient, worried sick that he might be 'terminally ill'.
Now, as you know, death is not a trifling thing, and is certainly not something we should be making fun of, but it happens to us all in the end, and we shouldn't be afraid to die.
That's what I tell my patients if I think they are going to snuff it, anyway.
The l...
This feature represents all that is bad about question and answer journalism. However, I feel there is a need for this in today's society, where ramshackle questions demand the courtesy of a relevant response.

Dear Auntie Hilda,
I'm going through a really tough time at the moment in my home life. My father died a while ago and my mother remarried his brother shortly after (we even had the funeral meats at the wedding!). I keep being haunted by my father (literally), and this is having an effect not only on me, but everyone around me. I can't help thinking that it's possible my uncle killed by father...
