Never knew of existence until spotted it on a library bookshelf. Hugely funny and witty answer by this agony aunta-diva.

Some of the queries sent by English readers are funny in first place itself - on the etiquette to use a bidet (ahem), type of toilet paper to use (soft or hard - they were many takers for hard as well), in which drawer should one keep lingerie, Queries like husbands burp, fart, snore etc. Neighbours seems to be having the most trouble - they worry about the clothes they wear (one gentleman wanted to know if it was okay to put back lady's breast into her low-cut blouse; another lady was worried to see transparent panties drying on her next door neighbour - a single young man's clothesline), they complain about loud-moaning of young couple having sex next door and what not. :) Mrs. Mills' replies are irreverent and full of caustic humour. Reading a collection of responses, I do like to believe that there are several things Mrs Mills deals with compassion without it being very apparent, but I pity those who are at receiving end of her acerbic wit. Sample this:

I do not like my bottom. What do I do?
Mrs. Mills - That is very subjective. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else shares your opinion. Bear in mind you have the worst view of it, too - all that twisting round to look at it in the mirror. Seek other opinions and have it photographed so that you can assess it properly. I have no doubt you will be surprised at its many fans.

Why it is that as soon as I mention I am broke - women pack off immediately. This when uptill this time they had been swearing to love me madly. Am I out of touch with reality?
Mrs. Mills - It amazes me that anyone could ever have thought men were the superior sex.

There are lot more cheeky ones, but can't reproduce them all here.
