Much of it, though, will prove to be dubious, unsound, wildly subjective, and oftentimes, flat-out wrong. May God grant you the wisdom to know the difference.”

 This is the disclaimer that runs across the top of “Questionable Advice,” the Q & A advice column of Script magazine. Well-written by a semi-anonymous, busty half-Thai calling herself “Scriptgirl,” “Questionable Advice” includes a lot of humor much of it of the self-deprecating and the clever-phrase varieties.

Script girl is smart to write funny. Humor gets read.
