Can anyone else give her better advice, I tried.

Dear ELDuran,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when my Camaro's engine conked out and it 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 our bedroom with the neighbor's daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's daughter is 22. We have been married for ten years.
When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had 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. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?

Sincerely,
Shelia
--------------------

Dear Sheila:
A Camaro 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 injectors.
I hope this helps.

ELDuran.

If he had any self respect, he would be up every morning driving you to work so he could have the Camaro to himself all day. He wouldn't be interested in the neighbors daughter.

The camaro probably just ran out of gas. Nothing to get all crazy about.

x2! Then he wouldn't have to settle for the neighbor's daughter, or using your bedroom.

Sheesh!

Yup. Repost.

It was in a news paper article (or a fake article probably) posted a month or two ago. I was a little surprised that my bro. in law and father in law didn't think it was all that funny. lmao

Well, as I see it I had 2 choices. I could either say that I read that quite some time on Kontraband.com (it was years ago and they took it from another source I'm sure) or I could make a comment where I assume that both questions were real, written by two different individuals. As a result, I would be turning PQ's 'proof' that it is a joke (thus destroying the joke) into some sort of coincidence that others have the opportunity to play off of. Evidently, this did not work out as I had hoped, perhaps because my post came across as sarcastic rather than 'fake honest'. Regardless, the potential for a continued humorous discussion is pretty much gone.

That's ok. I got what you were saying.
