Ask The Preacher's Wife: How Do I Deal With Foolishness This Spring?

Dear Lady Mel,

Spring is coming and a lot of people will be dealing with allergies. Well, I have an allergy of my own. I’m allergic to foolishness, and when it gets warm, foolishness is at an all time high.

Wreckless driving, crazy behavior, foolish talk. I can’t take it. How do I deal with my foolishness allergy this spring?

Dear Phed Up In Philly,

I understand exactly what you are talking about!  On that first near 70 degree day, Karen, tried me in the aisle at Target. She had on shorts, Ugg boots and a hoodie. Before I opened my mouth, I realized she was suffering from the impact of warm weather. So, before catching a case, I popped 2 of my pills and calmed down.

What pills? I’m so glad you asked.

I had road rage so bad that I shot up the side of someone’s car on the highway. Thankfully, I got off with community service. But now, I use DONTGIVEADAMN everyday, and the last time someone cut me off, I just pointed the gun, but I didn’t shoot.

THANKS DONTGIVEADAMN!

Still not convinced? Here’s another testimonial:

I was minding my business in the park when Karen and Susan came to ask me what I was doing. I had already taken 2 of my DONTGIVEADAM pills, and instead of kicking them in the throat, I simply recorded the interaction. I went viral on IG and now I make an extra $5k a month.

Thanks DONTGIVEADAMN!

Lady Mel
