"CLASSIC" ANN LANDERS (R)Editor's Note: Hundreds of Ann Landers' loyal readers have requested that newspapers continue to publish her columns. These letters originally appeared in 1999. Dear Ann Landers: The most hilarious column you ever wrote helped me turn the corner when I was seriously ill several years ago. My copy is torn, but I'll try to patch it up and send it on. Please run it again. I am — A St. Petersburg, Fla., Fan Dear St. Pete: Here it is: A couple sitting on their back porch, enjoying a lovely summer evening, were startled by bloodcurdling screams for help coming from their neighbors' home. After dialing 911 and arming themselves with a baseball bat, the couple proceeded to their neighbors' house to assist in any way they could. As luck would have it, the front door was unlocked, so they walked right in. They followed the frantic calls for help to an upstairs bedroom, where they found the neighbor lady stark naked, tied hand and foot to her bed. On the floor lay her husband, unconscious, wearing a Batman cape and mask. It became apparent that the couple was into both bondage and fantasies. Mr. Batman had attempted to leap from the dresser onto the bed. In the process, he bumped his head on the ceiling fan and went out like a light. The next-door couple untied Mrs. Batman, revived Mr. Batman and took him to the hospital where he was treated for a superficial head injury and released. This certainly gives new meaning to the term "safe sex." Dear Ann Landers: My 20-year-old son had sex with a 22-year-old woman.
My son respects this woman's religious views, although he does not share them. He is very angry that she is unwilling to consider adoption. My son was adopted, and knows how much love and care could be given to this child. What are the man's rights in a case such as this? Shouldn't he have some say in the matter? I would like to add that my wife and I have been strong advocates for children's rights for many years, but we believe this is totally unfair to the man. We would appreciate your opinion. — Steamed in California Dear Steamed: This is a legal issue and a messy one, at that. A man can, in some cases, prevent a woman from having an abortion or from giving up the child for adoption, but he cannot force her to do either if she is unwilling. If your son used a condom, as he said, he might consider taking a paternity test to make sure the child is his. I recommend it. What's the truth about pot, cocaine, LSD, PCP, crack, speed and downers? "The Lowdown on Dope" has information on drugs.
