DEAR ABBY: This is in response to "Clothespin Connie on Long Island," whose husband won't shower before bed.
When my sons were old enough to date, I taught them that old men shave and shower in the morning, while young men shave and shower at night. It's based on the old adage, "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar."
I still shave and shower at night -- and I'm 79 years young. -- CHET IN SAN DIEGO
DEAR CHET: With an emphasis on the "young"! Perhaps that saying should be amended to, "You can catch more HONEYS with honey than you can with vinegar."
