    Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns

    Dear Walter:

    I hope you can help me here. The
    other day I set off for work leaving my
    husband in the house
    watching the TV as usual. I hadn't gone more than a
    mile down the
    road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a
    halt. I
    walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I
    couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor lady.

    I am 32, my husband is 34 , and we have been married for twelve
    years.

    When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that
    they had been
    having an affair for the past six months. I told him
    to stop or I would
    leave him. He was let go from his job six months
    a go, and he says he has
    been feeling increasingly depressed and
    worthless. I love him very much,
    but ever since I gave him the
    ultimatum he has become increasingly
    distant. He won't go to
    counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to
    him anymore. Can
    you please help?

    Sincerely, Sheila


    Dear
    Sheila:

    A car stalling after being driven a short distance can
    be caused by a
    variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking
    that there is no
    debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the
    vacuum pipes and hoses
    on the intake manifold and also check all
    grounding wires. If none of
    these approaches solves the problem, it
    could be that the fuel pump itself
    is faulty, causing low delivery
    pressure to the carburetor float chamber.

    I hope this helps.


    -Walter

    SO, what's the problem?
    Did she get the car started again or what?
    Let me articulate this for you:

    One beautiful thing about having a government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations is that every disaster is measured in terms of economic loss. It's sort of like getting your arm sheared off in a car accident and thinking, "Damn, now it'll take longer to fold the laundry" as blood spurts from your arteries. - The Rude Pundit

    Raoul, I like your new avatar.

    Men don't write advice columns because men aren't talkers and tend to do things the way they want.

    They can't take advice.

    They know that even if you give advice, most people do what they want anyway. So why bother.
