Dear Ms. Manners,
I just had my first experience bush whacking and now I look like an abuse victim - some people suspect that my hiking partner took me out into the woods to beat me. How do I set the record straight?
Sincerely,
Used and abused
Dear Used,
You're in the VOC - we all know you were asking for it.
Love,
Ms. Manners
