Becky ran out of gas about half an hour ago. After riding to the
rescue...

It makes me wonder how anyone could run out of gas.

Most automobiles are powered by internal combustion engines. These
engines typically burn various concoctions of petroleum based liquids
which are stored in an onboard tank. Run them long enough without adding
fuel and the supply runs out.

fwiw,

Not much.

Wolfgang

Yes, I know how a combustion engine works, and there is also an instruments
called a gas gauge
that most automobiles have today which indicates when you're low on fuel. I
figure with all the
reading you both do, it might be easy enough to read the gauge...it's not
like it's in braille.

Given who she chooses to associate with it seems common sense is
severely lacking.

oh brother... if i'm not mistaken, you've never met becky or wolfgang?
you've never spent an evening in their company? in other words, you're
simply making a statement without adequate data. not what i'd expect
from you, though i'll acknowledge i've met a number of college
professors who allow their feelings to corrupt their logic. you dislike
wolfgang. wolfgang enjoys toying with you and he may...though i'd not be
certain...dislike you. however, you know nothing of becky or the
relationship between them. it was a stupid statement and, as i know
something of becky, i think you owe her an apology.
