I work as a Design Engineer. While driving, I seldom slow down at the road breakers and bumps. One day out of exasperation my wife sitting next to me said, “Honey, if you don’t slow down, you’re going to damage your shock absorbers, your wheel bearings and probably have to get another wheel alignment.”
I was surprised by her knowledge of the technical words and told her so.
She replied, “Sweetheart, for years I’ve being telling you in plain English to slow down, but you aren’t listening. I thought maybe some engineering talk might help you see your foolishness.”
