Dear Aunty,
My wife and I have been married for over 80 years and are now both in our hundreds. I am happy just to sit by the fire, on fire and file me bunions. However Maude has recently started vehicle maintenance classes at the local college.
Whilst I have no objection, I am disturbed by her constant references to giving my “starting handle a good tug” and checking that my “crank” is in working order. This isn’t the women I married all those years ago.
Any advice?

Dear Henry
Whilst the delights of filing your bunions satisfies your cravings, Maude obviously desires more in the twilight of her years.Show an interest in her new found direction. Tell her if you can buff her headlamps she can by all means give your starting handle a tug. Next time you’re both working on that dodgy gearbox of hers ask if she can pass you the spanners as she tightens your nuts.
With time you’ll see the pleasure she derives from getting down and dirty with a set of jump leads (be careful there though old timer) and use the opportunity to regularly check her big end is in working order.
There’s more to life than Lumbago and bunions (to paraphrase Morrissey)
Toot toot!

Chuckling away here Ginger… Loved the buffing of headlight reference.. Have a great weekend, and be careful if you should decide to have a Car Wash, I hear those Lads down at the Hand wash centre do a great Valet .. with a super Hoover.. So make sure your starting handle is well tucked in your boot 😉
thanks for the heads up Sue!
Have they got room for one in the rear?
Certainly Joe – consider it a birthday booty gift
I’ll strap myself in for the ride

And please mention the importance of lube jobs. What?
I knew I could rely on you Susie! CW
I’m wracking my brain here, and I have no idea what the Spanner at the end is a euphemism for.
wow, sex has changed since Henry was a boy…
Sure has Guap – bleedin’ foreplay and the need for the woman to enjoy it….PAH!
Good one Jim 🙂
Cheers Harry, perhaps a cure for obesity!
All sorts of exciting possiblities lie ahead, like shifting gear together or plugging an oil leak.
The possibilities are endless!
Oh dear, this one had me laughing out loud.
Good!
So that was the response you were going for?
Oh yes!
I love the gear box reference. I was going for the dip stick metaphor but yours is better.
Dipstick works John!
New follower of yours, what a great post I picked to read! 🙂
Welcome aboard! Glad you liked it and I hope you will enjoy the nonsense!
I feel so enlightened…

Forget the zen of motorcycle maintenance, this kind of mechanics is far more likely to get my engine cranking!
