Yes it is.
Deadly serious in some cases!

... If you have a question, then you
will find that this is the best place to ask it.


Actually it's one of the better places I know of. Is that a
compliment to the group, or a sad commentary on the rest
of the world?

However, if you think that "I have a fear of sailing with my husband"
is a question, then you will be dissappointed.


Do you have a question?


Of course. You just have to parse the original poster's
words correctly. And "I have a fear of sailing with my
husband" is indeed a question.


No, it isn't!! It is a statement of fact.

It says that the lady's husband is untrustworthy.

My wife, who isn't a sailor, trusts me when I tell her what to expect. I
suspect that your wife trusts you to tell the truth.

There are many men who take their wives out sailing in inappropriate
conditions .... and they later regret the fact that their wives won't go
sailing with them.

We just need a little more
information to zero in on a quantitative answer. Is the
primary issue sailing/husband, or fear/husband... or if it's
fear/sailing, then what can the husband do to reclaim his
wife's attention(s)?


The primary issue is "husband". If the man was trustworthy, then the wife
would not be worried about going sailing with him.




You all don't get 'Car Talk' over there, do you?


I don't think so.. If it is a TV programme, then I wouldn't know. I've
given up watching it!
