Here at Metromix, we occasionally approach comedians to tackle your most befuddling advice needs. Recently, Patton Oswalt dropped in to give this simple solution to one reader's, um, unique problem:

Q: My boyfriend is into hairy chicks, and for his birthday, he wants to me to stop shaving my pits for a month.  Should I do it, or just buy him an iPod?

A: Buy him an iPod filled with nothing but tunes by Ethel Merman, Peaches and Steven Tyler.  That should satisfy his hairy-chick fetish.


Easy enough. For more of Mr. Oswalt, head to the newly reopened Largo (which just moved the Coronet Theater space on La Cienega) for a live set with him and Michael Penn on Monday, June 30.
