Serious , I taught my wife to drive in 1979 or so. It took her decades to find out ow to put fuel in. She learned about not blinding other drivers quite soon, maybe five years. She enever got out of the habit of gong throuh the gears exactly opposite both up hill and down hill. Took me a long time but in the end probably a few ywars from the end of her driving lifestyle in 2010 when her ms really began sticking the boot in her optic nerve and anything else with a myoline sheeth in her brain. The gp never said anything about her ability to drive. Me and our son Sam had to insist she must never drive again, she will kill someone and herself.

Humanity is not all equal. Some people arent suitable for tasks other people find easy.

She also broke the saab automatic gearbox. Just glad I wasnt sat in the passenger seat I just couldnt have bared it.

Shes better at things I cant do.

One day Ill get home and find her dead. The gp warned me.

I like the cat one, hysterical! :lol:

Speaking of wrecking automatic transmissions, I remember following a car through the many roundabouts of Basildon town centre (Essex), two people in the car a couple I guessed, the wife was driving (or partner as the case may be), exiting one roundabout she must have thought she was driving a manual for a second, the reversing lights flashed briefly then a trail of oil appeared under the back of the car. It would appear she had wanged it into reverse while it was moving forward. I thought "That's buggered" ...

Told the story to the then editor at Maplin who said his brother once did the exact same thing!

I assumed this, but it’s not Dave’s usual territory.

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.
