It’s that time of month again…

Yes, it’s that time of month when my little girl is on her period.

It seems that I have to fill ‘er up with gasoline at the end of every month.  But before I do, she always acts cranky around me.  For example, she has problems starting up–most likely a loss of fuel pressure or failing cold-start injectors (or a combination of both).  To preemptively remedy this, I usually flood the engine before I turn it off, that way she gets extra fuel to play with when cranking off the ignition.

But all these problems are resolved when I fill up her tank.  Plus, I get better throttle response.  Though, with her recent weight loss, the additional fuel weight means retarded braking and lamer steering.

I suppose I should officially give her a name…  though one thing is for certain: she is a girl.

Because you know that’s how I like my women: cranky and always leaking gas.

    Jeff, as an armchair economist, I’ve done the analysis of supply and demand in the “cranky and leaking gas” female market and you should be happy to knoww that your prospects for finding a suitable equilibrium condition are good. In fact, I might be so bold as to suggest that, Mr. Lee, may well constitute the whole of the demand curve in this market.

    I guess this means I need to lower my expectations for said market, as non-cranky and non-leaky girls would have a significantly higher price due to low supply, whatever that may be.

    While I appreciate your affirmative analysis, might I note people generally call me by my proper name, David, rather than Jeff.
