Oh, this is JUST what I need to read moments before the missus swipes the SRT to go to the store! Gee thanks, HK!
On the advice side - just how...hold it, gotta watch her back out of the driveway...whew, didn't hit the telephone pole, didn't curb the front end and away she goes...the panic sets-in!
Anyways...just how long have you guys been married? I'm thinking if it's over 20 yrs. or so you're doomed. Can't be though, you're still too young!
I'd suggest a jumbo bottle of her favorite French beverage; can't go wrong with a decent Merlot, & try to ply the truth out of her w/ alcohol. Tell her it's better than any pain reliever your on! Laugh, crack a few jokes, put her at ease. Then hit her up with the big question: "Honey, just exactly how did you whack the back wheel?" "Really, I'm just curious".
Not to say this has ever worked with MY wife...she knows me too well: 32 years & counting.
