Acting in an impulsive, manly fashion, The Common Man simply threw The Uncommon Wife into the car, The Boy into the carseat, told them to strap themselves in, and peeled out. And, as chivalry is not completely dead, and it was raining, and The Common Man does not like to sleep on the couch, he did not have the option of sending his wife to work on foot. All of those, however, were good suggestions, and The Common Man thanks you for your valuable input. He's going to buy some helmets now so that he's ready next time.The Common Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09994070642805307798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064547517730087223.post-32688985653044271852008-09-09T10:24:00.000-05:002008-09-09T10:24:00.000-05:00"this morning, The Common Man needed to take The U..."this morning, The Common Man needed to take The Uncommon Wife in to work, since their other car has decided to need break fluid."<BR/><BR/>I am a little confused here. It seems that this sentence should have read more like this:<BR/><BR/>1.this morning, The Uncommon Wife had to start walking to work very early since her car has decided to need brake fluid. <BR/><BR/>2. this morning, The Common Man needed to fashion a parachute to the back of his car since it decided to need brake fluid.<BR/><BR/>3. this morning, The Common Man needed to cut a hole in the floor pan so that he could apply the brakes" flintstone style" since their other car has decided to need brake fluid. <BR/><BR/>4. this morning, The Common Man has "helmet head" since he has started wearing a helmet as a precautionary measure since their car has decided to need brake fluid. <BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
