Well, that certainly beats the old "Oh dear, I'm afraid we seem to
have run out of gas" line... I would think that "lady" is not the
appropriate term for a person who regards such an event as grounds
for excommunication - or any thing else short of an "exciting adventure".
Then again, certain women of my acquaintance are as adept at wrench-wielding
as I am, and might have said "Hey John, your driveshaft U-joint sounds like
it might not make it there, let's take my Jag instead..."
