Dear Whiz Bang—Can you tell me if it is true that some animals use their tails as signals?—Dr. Walloper.
Yes, indeed—here in Robbinsdale and elsewhere. The South American puma is said to agitate its tail-tip to entice grazing, curious creatures. The white underneath part of several varieties of deer are said to be used as a guide for other members of the herd. The horse uses his tail as a sun shade for the driver. Probably there are other animals that use their tails, but as we have never taken our post-graduate degree in tail technology, this meager answer will have to suffice for the present.

Dear Captain Billy—Would you please define “Platonic Love?”—Plute O. Fizz.
“Platonic Love” means that you can kiss her all you want and forget she is a woman. But there ain’t no such animal.
