Don't take the risk mate, kill her first! ;)

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

In order to save your marriage you should probably sell them to me at little or no profit. You see if you sell them to me for $600 it's like it never happened. marriage saved.

You're welcome

Fix one up for her, that should ease the initial shock.  By the way, the chances of 3 Hondamatics all running at the same time is nearly zero, carbs being what they are on these things..... enjoy man, good score.
