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 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,

Mrs. Sheila Lusk

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

I dunno, I ran a highly sucessful, and very compassionate advice service there several years ago, and I never had any complaints that weren't dealt with ultimately via the courts, or a couple of mates and a transit van with some shovels. I think men can give excellent advice, also it sounds to me like the alternator on that car was fecked.

Because it would be the blind leading the blind

Dear Sheila:

Go directly to your garage and grab a gas can, Walk your big ass to the gas station and fill up the can with gasoline. Now walk your fat ass back to the car and put some friggin gas in it every now and then instead of expecting your husband to do everything.

Your welcome husband of Sheila:

Sheila should invade Walters wardrobe, and while he is wearing her clothes, wear his clothes.Then they can play act each other, Sheila becomes Walter, and Walter becomes Sheila. Only in the privacy of their own home, ofcourse. Maybe this would whip Walter out of his depression and Sheila out of her shock.
