Dear Abby

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas who has recently been diagnosed
as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth and one of my
sisters, who lives in Pflugerville, is married to a transvestite.

My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and
selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two
sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas. I have two brothers; one is
currently serving a non-parole life sentence at Huntsville for the
murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail
awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives
in Longview. She is a part time "working girl". All things considered,
my problem is this. I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her
into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with
her.

Should I tell her about my cousin who is a supporter of president George Bush?

Signed,

Worried About My Reputation
