Dear On the Spot, Enjoy your sister, she won’t be around forever but also find time to be with your daughter–you’re not going to be around forever, either … and what’s with "elderly" in the headline! … Dear Insulted, That depends on whether she’s watching "Gomer Pyle" (no thanks) or "Star Trek" ("Bread and Circuses?"  Stardate 4040.7! I’ll be right over) … Dear Old Fashioned, Wait until she gets to college and moves in with him.

I used to work for Draper’s from 1993-2001. That ad is the same style ad they were doing in the Times up
until  2001! The grand-nephews of the founder sold their majority share to a
conglomerate retailer after 80 years in business, so it  may cease to exist
in the near future, but it cracks me up to see the same old ad
today.
