I've been married for 28 years to Kathy, who is VERY patient.  She has a
great sense of humor in general, but about my bad car habits in
particular.  She will opt to drive the right hand drive Morris Minor
(license plate E FUDD) even when her Jag is running.  She was driving the
Minor not long after we bought  it and the brakes went out as she was
approaching a stop light.  She drove the car up on the concrete median,
which miraculously stopped the car without doing anything more than
cosmetic damage to the underside.  I don't even want to know how she got
off of this median she was straddling.  She then proceeded to drive the
car five miles back home!  I asked if she used the handbrake to stop. 
She said "Gee, I never thought of that.  I just went real slow and stayed
close to the curb."  She always brings 'em home.  The Minor now has disk
brakes and a new master cylinder.
