I am standing in the garage, already 20 minutes late for work, glaring at this large hunk of inanimate metal. I have primed the carburetor, checked the plugs, and filed the points, At this point my wife walks in. "The license plate looks loose to me", she says. "That's probably why it won't start." In icy silence I tighten the license plate and step on the starter, The car not only starts, but the dash-board clock starts ticking, and the dome light which hasn't worked for four years suddenly shines like a star in the sky, That's womants intuition, If the radio goes on the blink, it is foolish to worry about the tubes or the transformer, You slam the desk drawer three times, and in comes H.

"Certainly", she called, "You'll have to change your shoes", Reluctant to go up- stairs, I searched around, and found a pair of tennis shoes, I put them on, but the drill still didn't work. My wife then came down, "What", she said, "*are you doing in those old tennis shoes"? "I changed them so the drill would work," and then added triumphantly, "but it doesn't", tof all the egg-heads", she moaned, "I said change the fuse, "It blew out yester- day", 'Who ever heard of making a drill work by changing your shoes?
