Wife was going to buy a new car last week. On the 16th we went out and looked at them. Gave her a blank check in case she was short.

Still driving the old car today. I fix a drink and kick back and get a call she's in a gas station 3 miles from home with a flat. I go there and inflate the tire and tell her to drive to the next station a mile and a half away. Speed limit was 40 and she's driving 10 so I pull up and tell her to speed up. Faster you go the less the weight on the tires and more the distance you cover. She pulls over and stops, tire goes flat. Boo hoo, so I take her home and call the wrecker, new jacks aren't worth the trouble unless you have a week to waste.

I'm beginning to think I should unplug the phone after 4pm.
