    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
    the bedroom with a neighbor lady making mad passionate
    love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have
    been married for twelve years. When I confronted him,
    he tried to make out that he went into the back yard
    and heard a lady scream, had come to her rescue but
    found her unconscious. He'd carried the woman back to
    our house, laid her in bed, and began CPR. When she
    awoke she immediately began thanking him and kissing
    him and he was attempting to break free when I came
    back. But when I asked him why neither of them had
    any clothes on, he broke down and admitted that he'd
    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 ago 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. I don't feel I can get
    through to him anymore. Can you please help?

    Sincerely,
    Mrs. Sheila Usk




    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 was the problem with his answer? It all looked good to me!

        The answer looked good to me too! But Walter forgot to ask what the neighbor lady looked like.

        The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.
