How about this one! Why is it that when a pretty girl (or a group of them) 
walks by, the car gives you a "hard start"? It starts fine everywhere else. Can 
you guys tell I'm single? Bye for now.

How true. But you forgot one-It always rains the day after you give the car a good wash. Also-your battery will die without warning, always with the car facing in towards another vehicle so you can't jump it in the parking lot.

It usually happens to me when:

1.  I am hungriest.  I skipped breakfast that morning, it's well past lunch,
I'm on my way to get something and-- whammo, breakdown.
Also:

2.  The cleaner and nicer the clothes I am wearing, the more likely it is my
car will break down
3.  The less money I have in my wallet, the more likely I will be called upon
to pay for a tow
4.  The car senses financial need.  I just lost my job, it's tax time, and I
have had a bunch of medical bills to pay.  What's next?  Car repairs, of
course!
5.  If you have left your jumper cables in your other car, guess which car will
need a jump?

All true, I swear.
