Brilliantly funny!

What newspapers does this appear in? (It says 250 syndicated papers, how can I never have heard of this column?--or was that a joke?)

TomMonster, it was a joke. This article is from The Onion, a satirical newspaper.

That's what I thought--being The Onion! Too bad, though, what brilliant idea for a column.

haha. It would be awesome. I wish there was a way real people could send their questions to The Onion to be answered by the stage directions.

They do the advice column just about every week- but always with a different object offering advice; Ask the instruction manual for installing a dishwasher, Ask the Connecticut Rules of the Road, Ask a recipe for Bouillabaisse, etc....
