My Husband is Cursed... Are You?

No no, IB... Mr Isla is incredible!

When we were courting, his VW Diesel Rabbit(my dad called it "The Wheelbarrow&quot😉 was breaking down as he crossed the bridge to get to my city.

He had a fork and a pair of underwear in his car that he used to patch up the car to make it to my house. He drove back home (30 miles!) the same way!

I decided that night I would marry him. He is amazing... 🙂 But, he does have rather bad luck when it comes to purchases...
 
fork and a pair of underwear in his car that he used to patch up the car to make it to my house

I'm a little tipsy tonight, but, what the hell does that mean?
 
Well... a hose or something in the engine broke, and he had to patch it to keep the car running. He stuffed the underwear and the fork into the hose to make it to my house.

He lifted the hood and showed me the fork and underwear in the engine... if he wasn't sleeping now, I would have him explain...

I bet yakko knows what I mean, though... he knows VWs...
 
well you can consider me cursed as well then, lotsa of things go wrong with stuff i get, not just hardware 🙁
 
Well at least his curse only applies to products and not women.

I'm the opposite 🙁 I buy good products but don't get women.
 
I never even fill out the warranty cards. Waste of time. The stuff I buy never breaks. Same with computer stuff. Abit boards always good. Now when I buy TV dinners, and you should never eat the ones your husband buys, I don't take the top (outside) one of a box because it may have thawed in transit. I get one toward the middle. You can't even smell the rot because of refreezing 😀

Now THAT is a mechanical genius...no wonder he was able to sweep you off your feet! 😀 Perhaps in the future though....tell Mr. Isla about this wonderful invention called duct tape! 😉
