Why Men Don't Make Good Agony Aunts (Uncles)

[dave.m]

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 mile 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 in the bedroom with a neighbour
lady making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and
we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke
down and admitted that he'd been having an affair for the past six
months.

I love him very much, but ever since then he has become increasingly
distant. I don't feel I can get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?

Sincerely,

Mrs.. Sheila Usk






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 carburettor float chamber.

I hope this helps.

Walter

No he's not much good with advice.
I would have told her to check first there was fuel in it before investigating further.

RF,
That just serves me right for not putting a © on my post to protect my copywright.

Viz does seem to get plagiarised in the joke e-mails quite a bit, this being the latest example!

Now and again I get a big list of Top Tips that I recognise from Viz, except now they're attributed to some American comedian or politician that I've never heard of until I google the name.

Ah well, it gives me the chance to introduce my colleagues to Viz, and reintroduce those who say "Is Viz still going?! Give it here, I haven't read it in 10 years!"
