July 2, 2002 - Today, I was scanning the online edition of The Washington Post while I was supposed to be working. I came across the story of the cargo jet that collided with the Russian passenger jet. When I clicked on the link to read the story, an advertising browser popped open on my screen. What, you may ask, was it advertising? Cheaptickets.com. For any of you future high school English teachers out there, use that as a perfect example of irony. Or just poor product placement. I haven't had a great column idea lately, so I'll just answer some more reader mail.

I wanted to comment on your June 28th column on cheating. A lot of what you said is right, but I disagree that people cheat because they want the "life experience".  As someone who has been cheated on, I think people cheat because of distance, lonely, or just plain assholes. Why do you think people cheat?
- Name Withheld

     Have you heard the phrase that guys are only as faithful as their options? I wouldn't go that far, but I think that their is some truth behind the fact that males are genetically wired to spread there seed. Even when I have been the most in love in my relationships, my eyes will still occasionally wander. There is such thing as the serial cheater, but I think that most people who do it truly don't mean to cause their significant other any pain. They are often just in a relationship that has run its course.

Should I stay or should I go? - The Clash

     
When in doubt, always go. Staying can only lead to an eventual feeling of being trapped. Go! You may get a chance to experience things that you could never have imagine possible.

Glenn, how is it possible that Keanu Reeves has had this long and successful of a career? - Glenn

       
I ask myself this question all of the time. How can one of the worst actors of this or any generation continue to find work after making so many horrible movies? The short answer is Speed and The Matrix. But how did he get those parts? My only guess is that The Devil's Advocate is autobiographical.

Glenn, will you come over tonight and mow my lawn? - Elizabeth

      
Um. no.

As a person with a lot of time to think about the important things in life, are there any simple pleasures that you can recommend to hel pa person relax?

     
I mentioned ranch dressing on turkey and roast beef sandwiches and italian dressing marinated in my last column. Also, try smoking a nice maduro ciar, preferrably an Ashton, while drinking a Pepsi. You'd be surprised how good that is. Try going to the movies alone...it is a great way to clear your mine. Oh, and masturbation. Lots of it.

Ok, here is the scenario. I walk into the bathroom and there are five urinals, for clarity sake lets number them 1-5. A guy is standing at 1, another is at 4. Where do I go?

    
Ooh, a tough one. First off, I'm not one of those guys that would advise you to wait. That is Jerry Falwell-Homophobic. I say go in 3. 2 or 5 is too threatening to the other guys. 3 isn't as ideal, but it is as neutral as possible.

Is it right for able-bodied people to use handicap parking spots, bathrooms, and doors?

      
I think most good-hearted people parking in handicap spaces is a one way ticket to hell. On the other end of the spectrum, I think using handicap doors is fine, if a little lazy. You don't deny a handicap person anything by using the door. The handicap toilet is an iffy proposition. I personally believe it to be ok when that is absolutely the only stall available. If that is the case, every one for themself. If  you just want the extra space and there are other stalls available, you are a bad, bad person.

Do you agree: "A woman who is just a friend is like having $19 in the bank and your left looking at your ATM card"? -
Alonzo Bodden

     
  Uhhhhhhhh...no? That's the correct answer, right?
