With our resident expert Rusty Spakhandel


Dear Rusty,
I have always been interested in tying handkerchieves around my elbows and knees, so I was delighted to discover that a Morris Dancing club was being started in my area. Unfortunately, so few people were interested that the club never got off the ground!
I'm desperately seeking another socially acceptable hobby that will allow me to indulge my passion for small squares of fabric. Can you think of any?
J. Callahan, 35, Milton Keynes UK

Rusty Says:
I strongly recommend tying a short length of rope around your neck and attaching it securely to a ceiling. Make sure that your feet don't touch the floor and you will be well away!


Dear Rusty,
After extensive research into the field of bio-mechanics, I have discovered that it is not nearly as exciting as it sounds. Is there anything I can do to liven it up?
Dr. V. Halley, 52, Cambridge UK

Rusty Says:
Unfortunately not. Most sciences are given exciting names, such as "Human Cybernetics", although they are in fact as dull as ditchwater. This is because they all consist of repeating the same thing over and over until you get enough of the results you want to ignore the truth.
My advice is to engage the old trick of turning your brain off completely and working in an apathetic stupor. Remember, you are a scientist - you don't think, you observe.


Dear Rusty,
THIS SUX :-((

Nigel C, 7, Wolverhampton UK

Rusty Says:
Get together with a group of friends and ram his head down the toilet as you flush it. It's fun, and traditional!


Dear Rusty,
I urge your readers not to buy anything from the cable television shopping channel QVC, as it is invariably rubbish.
I mean, look at this fibre-optic UFO shaped lamp. It seemed so good on TV... £25 down the drain!
Veronica Sallis, 26, Aberdeen UK

Rusty Says:
No wonder the economy is in such a state. You anti-business types make me sick.


Dear Rusty,
Rubbing the soles of your feet with surgical spirit will refresh and harden them in preparation for wearing summer sandals.
Mrs M. Watson, 34, Putney UK

Rusty Says:
I have informed the police. Do not write to me again.


Dear Rusty,
You still owe me a fiver.
John Spakhandel, 25, London UK

Rusty Says:
Not now, for Christ's sake!


Dear Rusty,
Does God really exist?
Rev. Jonathon Mullins, 63, Wimbledon UK

Rusty Says:
Hang on, I'll ask him...
Sorry, he won't say.
