AND 80% ARE LIARS:

20% fear spouse's driving (The Canadian Press, 10/21/02)

Two Canadians in 10 are afraid to be passengers in cars driven by their spouses, suggests a survey.

Men and women had the same level of apprehension, according to a Leger Marketing poll. Eighteen per cent of Canadians--17 per cent of men and 20 per cent of women--said they were scared to travel in a car driven by their spouse.

When the wife started Med School, I drove her out to Chicago in her car, even though I had no idea how to drive a standard. She woke up on the Ohio Turnpike at one point and we were headed through a toll plaza going roughly 45 mph because I couldn't downshift. Her screams are even now wafting past Alpha Centauri.
