It's quiet......too quiet.
"Tom Nakashima" wrote in message ... "Wolfgang" wrote in message ups.com... Becky ran out of gas about half an hour ago. After riding to the rescue... Wolfgang 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. fwiw, -tom

So, what you're saying is that you really didn't wonder how anyone could run out of gas at all. In fact, what you were doing was simply stating, in a sly fashion that no one could possibly see through, that Becky must be stupid. I'll be sure to pass that along. fwiw, How much do you think it's worth? Wolfgang

Now hang on a sec here...I've seen Wolfgang...I'd say that blind can't be so cavalierly dismissed as a distinct possibility when discussing someone who would choose to share digs with him... I see.

In fact, what you were doing was simply stating, in a sly fashion that no one could possibly see through, that Becky must be stupid. I'll be sure to pass that along. As to being both blind AND stupid, well, if Wolfgang's personality is represented by "0" and his warmth is represented by "0" and his lifetime earnings are represented by...wait a minute...0 times 0, carry the double naught and sine it by the coefficient of pi, then divide the algebraic numerator by the trigonometric corollary...hell, I don't care...besides, it'd probably take a math whiz like Monty Hall or someone with a really high...or maybe really low...Kreh number to figure the odds of the average rate of loading on this...maybe an experiment could be performed...or maybe it was just a Hobson's choice: take the horse's ass in the stall nearest the door, or take none at all... According to calculations with all sorts of Greek letters and ****, the odds are that this won't help things, R

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. fwiw, -tom In my particular case, it wasn't a gas gauge, nor my inability to read a gauge/idiot light *CHARGE* but a need to continue on as best possible. Lucky me, I made it to the house--stopped at the store on the way home, noticed that my radio blinked off, SIGN UNTO THEE--before shutting the engine down. Once I turned into the driveway and shut the engine off, she wouldn't restart. Alternator gone bad. Car presently in repair shop, as I don't have the ability nor the inclination to change out an alternator that is positioned so far up under the car that a snake would have difficulty getttin' to it. Not to mention all of the oil soaked components in between. Currently reading Henri Fayol's "General and Industrial Management." Gotta do a presentation on *organizational theory,* sometime in the very near future. Op
