Bio
On a political continuum with Extreme Liberal at 1 and Extreme Conservative at 10, I can be found at position “P.” I get a chuckle at much of what passes for liberal thought, but don’t much chuckle at anything conservative. Quite frankly, I consider American conservatism to be one of the most dangerous pieces of garbage ever to pollute the planet Earth. A major problem with this mindset is occasioned by the fact that I am a 72 year old, white male who works at a county golf course in one of the richest, most conservative counties in the United States. Since I get free golf (at five county courses) as part of my compensation package, I play 4 – 5 times a week. Bottom line: Goddam near everyone I work with or play golf with, almost all of whom are 70+ year old white, males, is a die-hard conservative. I love each and every one of ‘em—love every bone in their heads. Truly! Sure is a tough haul, though—‘cause I am not given to holding my tongue. Just think of all the fun I have at work and play! Don’tcha envy me?

WHY MEN SHOULD NOT WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS!

Rate: 8 Flag

Here is a letter to a male advice columnist, Dear John, and John's response.
 
First, the letter:
 
 
 Dear John, 

I hope you can help me. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My car stalled and then broke down about a mile down the road. I had no cell phone with me and had to walk back to get my husband’s help. When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes. 

He was in our bedroom with the neighbor’s daughter! 

I am 32, my husband is 34 and the neighbor’s daughter is 19. We have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for the past six months. He refuses to go to counseling. I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help? 

Sincerely, Sheila

 

 

Here is John's response:

 

 Dear Sheila, 

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be cause 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. 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 injectors. 

I hope this helps, 

John

Your headline is correct. Sheila's husband should have known better, and have made sure the wife had a working cell phone. Think of the time and money it would have saved him! And probably saved the marriage, too.

it's *so* too bad that sheila hadn't asked for john's automotive advice before the surprise her husband served up for her. just think how much less annoyed she would be. and this is all too true, frank, and funny in an i-knew-it kinda way.

Spot on, Frank.
I'd probably get her to check inside the distributor cap while she was at it.

Hey, I thought the advice was damn good. Besides, "Click and Clack" give pretty good advice to the "lovelorn" too.
