I’m sure your female followers are really going to love this post. The funny part is that it’s so true. I went through similar experiences with my ex-wife and daughter. Thank God they called me before they allowed the mechanics to do the work.

Hi Berge!
Have the female members of your family seen this post? Are you ok or are there sharp objects ticking out of you?

Get well soon mate ;-)!

Funny.

Sadly, I actually know a few guys that would respond just about the same way she did.

That is funny if it wasn't true.
This is what they do to people in real life and it then becomes not very funny. lol
Goes to show how important it is to keep your life broad in knowledge and not specialized the way they want the new generation to be.

Absolutely right!

groan... Doesn't sound like many of the women that I know. Thank Goodness. But I have experienced it when the service people said my brakes were squealing because metal rotors and metallic pads. Metal on metal squeals. So I asked him how come every other car on the road wasn't squealing too??

He didn't think it was so funny when I got the Chrysler Rep that was responsible for the dealership involved.

I must give the best kudos to my father-in-law when he learned that I was fairly proficient working on my car. He asked me if I had ever replaced the piston return springs. Luckily I didn't lie. ;)

Good job he didn't mention anthing about a broken piston return spring and that the car was only running on 5 of the 4 cylinders.

This has to be a Put On. I can't believe anyone could be this gullible.

Hope you have a Wonderful Week Baron.

This is funny and also so true but it applies to almost anyone. I was an IT guy for 27 years and there were lots of people, man and woman, that I could have told them "your computer memory is working slow because it is old and needs to be changed" and they would believe me :-)
