SWMBO stated that she felt inadequate when talking with a mechanic, so when her vehicle started making a strange noise, she sought help from a friend, a car nut.

He told her how to explain the difficulty when she took it in for repair.

premature detonations, which may damage the valves."

As she smugly glanced over the mechanic's shoulder, she saw him write on
his clipboard, "Lady says it makes a funny noise."
