Yes, I Can Help!(you may be better off without it)
Being one of the senior members in our family, the younger generation often asks me for advice. Upon my return yesterday, I received this email from one of my nieces.
Dear Uncle Cat,
I need your advice. As you know, my husband is between jobs for the last six months and yesterday morning my car broke down while going to work. I had to walk about a mile back home to enlist my husband’s help; useless as he is. When I got home, I caught him in bed with the twenty-year old daughter of our neighbor. I confronted him and he admitted to having an affair with her for the last six months. I fear my marriage is on the rocks and I don’t know what to do.
Your niece Annie.
Lucky for her, I have lots of experience regarding her dilemma. I’m including my reply in case any of you people should run into the same problem at some stage.
Dear Annie,
I noticed that your husband does not know much about the internal combustion engine. When a car stalls after being driven a short distance, the cause can be one or more of many things. Start by checking if the choke does not stick. If not, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the inlet manifold. You may also check for bare wires shorting against the engine. If that is not the problem, check for dirt in the fuel line. If none of the above solves the problem, it may be the fuel pump failing to get enough fuel to the carburetor. If you cannot solve the problem, give me a call and I’ll come over to sort it out.
Your uncle Cat.
She did not come back to me yet, so I can only assume the she got it sorted out. This is the problem with today’s youth. They never come back to say thank you.
Print this blog and keep it somewhere. You may need it in the future.
You have a great day out there.

Hey buddy,
Did you have to bring all your friends? We'll have to check if Angel has enough meat.

I hope it is good pedigree bugs that you put in my bed. It took a long time to get the bloodline of my current bugs pure. And they wear pink running shoes.
Hi Girls!
