Women and stick shifts
Years ago when my daughter was learning to drive, I insisted that she master a manual transmission and she did. When time came for her senior high school prom, her date arrived in a borrowed sports car with a stick shift. How the owner of the sports car let the kid borrow the car was beyond me. We were hosting a pre-prom party and the date somehow managed to drive the car from his house to ours. However, he could not back the car up without stalling it; in fact he had a very hard time finding reverse gear. So my daughter switched places with him in front of the assembled group of prom attendees, put the car in reverse and drove off flawlessly. It was priceless.
