That's right.  And it appears that you're behind the 
proverbial curve in that respect.  Best get cracking,
eh what?

Except that one doesn't need to be a mechanic to change a
tire, any more than one needs to be an electrician in
order to replace a burned-out lightbulb.

I'm starting to think that there should be an "exit
exam" for minor status as there is for high school
in some states, and that in order to qualify for 
adult status (let alone be allowed to vote), people
whould have to demonstrate basic life skills as well
as possession of some semblance of what I think of 
as "walking-around sense."

Hell, no.  Women are liberated now, for one thing, and
that implies responsibilities as well as privileges.
The "helpless female" archetype needs to be consigned
to the ash heap o'history.  

And for another thing, any guy who stops to render 
assistance to a woman nowadays will likely be presumed
to have the worst of intentions, causing the women to 
screech and hole up in her car while dialing 911.  Then
there'd be a SWAT team tying up traffic, not just an AAA
truck.
