hello;

okay, just for grins let us take this story a part piece by piece.



> From the Cape Breton Post News comes this story of a Sydney couple

this is inconsistant.

why bother purchasing anything if it is unknown as to whether you would
be able to get it home or not. 

if the man knew he could fix it or knew what was wrong why not fix it
before it broke down in the walmart parking lot? also if it was easy for
him to fix why bother with a mechanic?

where did it break down in the parking lot. it would be way to
convenient for the automobile to break down in a parking place. why
would the woman leave and not help the man at least push/move the car
out of the way of other parking lot traffic.

given the low ground clearance of most automobiles it is highly unlikely
that any adult male would be able to get far enough under an automobile
so that only their legs were showing.

there is also the question of how would anyone notice that someone is
under a car in a walmart parking lot. do people walk around parking lot
looking for people laying under an automobile. most people i observe
head straight for their vehicle and want to get out of there.

i question the supposed mechanic's sanity by laying down in a parking
lot with his legs sticking out from under an automobile. if he had any
brains he would be worried about being run over by someone who did not
see his legs sticking out from under the automobile.

this is where it becomes really bogus.
most women know what clothes their husbands wear. also most women would
be able to recognize their husband's legs. since this woman had supposely
gone into the walmart to shop it is safe to assume that she had either
plastic shopping bag/bags in at least one hand perhaps two, or she was
pushing a shopping cart. yet this woman knelt down to perform this
supposely noble act.
