As I was parking, I noticed a guy looking under the hood of his car, fiddling with things. So, I got out of my car and went to see if I could help....

Jen: "Are you okay?"
Guy: "Yeah, my ... *blah blah blah blah* ... pressure ... *blah blah blah* ... hydraulics ... *blah blah blah* ..."
Jen: *blinks* "Do you need a phone to call someone?"
Guy: "Nope, got my own phone. I'm okay." *smiles*
Jen: *recognizing her utter uselessness* *smiles* "Okay."
Guy: "Thanks, though."
Jen: "No problem."

Jill: "Are you guys trying again to get pregnant?"
Jen: "Well, we are getting divorced...."
Jill: "Oh. So, are you going to try to get pregnant again?"
Jen: *blinks* "Yeah, I figured I'd just go to the nearest bar, pick up some guy...."
Jill: "Jen!"
