NEW CATEGORY!!!1: Mom Humor



Everyone appreciates a little light Mom humor to make us sorta half-smile when times get tough.

Here's the first of the new category known as "Mom Humor". (It's not exclusive to moms - your cheesy dad's "fwd:" e-mails will work, too.)

(I insist on leaving the spacing, spelling, etc. as it is sent by the parental figure.)

WHY MEN DO NOT WRITE ADVICE COLUMNS

Dear Walter:

I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving
myhusband 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 carshuddered 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 waswearing
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 aboutthe make up, he
broke down and admitted that he'd been wearing my clothes forsix 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
feelingincreasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but eversince
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,
Mrs. Sheila Lusk

Dear Sheila:A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be
caused by avariety 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
thevacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves
theproblem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low
delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps.

Walter
