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 few hundred yards 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 parading in front of the wardrobe mirror dressed in my underwear and high-heel shoes, and he was wearing my make up.

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 had dressed in my lingerie because he couldn't find his own underwear. But when I asked him about the make-up, he broke down and admitted that he'd been wearing my clothes for 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,
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 jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. 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

Let me start by saying that not all men would respond in the manner that "Walter" did. In fact, I for one, think that his advice was way off base!





(She mentions that the engine conked out and the car "shuddered to a halt." While the problem might indeed be in the fuel lines, I'm thinking that it probably has more to do with a possible timing chain and/or ignition problem and that should be the first thing checked!)

I really have no time for jealous women...instead of being upset with your man....ask advice on wearing make up. Show an interest in his "feminine side. Or maybe, you are just upset because he looked better in your underwear.

I had a bad habit of trying to get into my wife's underwear...but she was still in them at the time



O.K.....can I get the job as advice columnist??? Please Please Please

professor "Dear Ship,

Thank you for submitting your advice.

After thorough deliberation and analysis, we decided that there are few touches you need to acquire before selling yourself as a male advisor for women problems.

Suggestion: concentrate on the real emergency; for god's sake, her car stopped in the middle of the road! How insensitive can you be???doh


Us, the reviewing team"

Ok, now duck and hide
