When *will* you learn - you must never doubt the female. They may not know everything but when they make a comment, it's usually true. Men, OTOH, myself included, will weigh the odds of her knowing more than I and make a comment based on a guess. As long as she doesn't call my bluff I'm ok - usually I get caught and yet I continue to hold my position - thus digging my grave even deeper.
Afterwards I'm amazed at how confident I tried to appear in defending what was basically a guess. Will I learn? Well, I've been married almost 40 years to the same wonderful woman and haven't learned yet. I *have* learned to keep quiet more often -- Saying stuff gets me in trouble (sometimes I just can't help myself) - then I get deperate to dig my way out by saying stuff with little or no basis in reality - which explains why I'm usually unsuccessful in reversing the situation. ;-/ Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zoltan Finks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 1:08 PM Subject: [MBZ] MB creates wife right husband wrong condition - brake lights > Must sell both Mercedes.
