I like a little ribaldry along with the serious side of life, but yesterday, I saw something that made me wonder if I am losing touch with the real world.

While paying a dinner check at a very nice restaurant, we saw a teenage girl (about 17, I would say) talking to the cashier. Her back was facing us. When she turned around we could read the message on her T-shirt: "If you rape me, please keep this side up. I was shocked. So were the other members of our party.

Who prints this garbage anyway? Isnt it against the law? Are the teen-agers in this country going to the dogs or have they already gone Sick and Disgusted in Washington Dear S. and First, it isnt fair to judge all teen-agers by one dingbat who obviously has a warped sense of humor and no sense of decency. Ive seen some pretty raunchy messages on T-shirts of late and have made it my business to inquire about the garbage." It seems some print shops will put anything on a T-shirt a person will pay for. Ive met a lot of teen-agers these past several years and I think very highly of most of them. They are brighter than we were, more interested in ethics in government and definitely less prejudiced against people of other races.

They are against war and this in itself puts them very high up on my list. If you miss your Register call your paper boy first. If you can't get him, call Richard Middleton, 365 6156 between 6 and 7 p.m rzrh Clevc Simple legant Designs DUANES FLOWERS Side Square 365 5723 We Have a New and Some New Nursing home notes Dear Ann: The letter signed Plenty Shaky from that unhappy wife who said her husband would leave her and her baby in the hospital if she didn't produce a boy asked you for something to hang on to in her seventh month of pregnancy. Please tell her to hang this one on her husband. The sex of the child is determined by the male.

Every normal woman's chromosomal makeup is XX. The normal male has the XY combination. Therefore, when the chromosomes split and fertilization takes place, a woman can contribute only an chromosome. The man, however, can contribute either an or a Y. His contribution is what determines the sex of the child.

If he adds his to her it's a girl. If he adds his it's a boy. So please tell Plenty Shaky to settle down and stop feeling it is her fault." I hope you will print this letter so Shaky can share it with her husband ditto all other women out there who have only daughters and secretly feel they have failed their husbands and in-laws. Sign me Williamsport, Pennsylvania Dear Williamsport I just checked with Dr. James Bowman University of Chicago Department of Genetics and he says you are right on, lady.

I also heard from hundreds of irate females who wanted to know if I had slept through my biology classes in high school. A steaming Houston woman wrote, "Why didn't you tell the wife to explain to her husband that she couldnt give him anything different from what he gave her nine months earlier?" So now weve got that settledl Dear Ann Landers: I have never thought of myself as being square or out of tune with the times.
